Abstract
With reference to a recent paper by Burke and Mitchell (1973) it is argued that the effect of spin-orbit interaction in the elastic scattering of electrons from one-electron atoms can be detected against the background of a dominant spin exchange effect by performing a single scattering experiment, provided the target atoms are polarized at right angles to the scattering plane.Keywords
