Double Scattering of Electrons with Magnetic Interaction

Abstract
The Mott theory of double scattering of electrons by nuclei is extended to the case where a constant homogeneous magnetic field intervenes between the two scattering centers. The problem is treated in the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation. It is found that the presence of the magnetic field causes the asymmetry in the double-scattering cross section to be altered, and that this change in the asymmetry can be utilized to determine the gyromagnetic ratio of the free electron.
