Abstract
Recent experiments on the behavior of thermal electrons in a dilute, optically pumped sodium vapor can be appropriately described in terms of the "electron optics" limit. The formalism developed for "neutron optics" is rederived for this purpose. This description gives a simple interpretation to the existence of an electron polarization, and of a shifted (but not broadened) electron spin resonance.Keywords
