Electron Scattering from Aligned and NonalignedHo165Nuclei

Abstract
The differential scattering cross sections have been measured for electron scattering from randomly oriented and aligned Ho165 nuclei. The alignment axis was parallel to the direction of the momentum transferred to the nucleus. Incident electron energies from 160.6 to 462.2 MeV were used at a fixed polar scattering angle of 36°. Available theories are unable to explain the measured difference between the aligned and nonaligned cross sections.
