Electron Scattering From Nuclear Magnetic Moments

The elastic scattering of high-energy electrons from the magnetic dipole and magnetic octupole moments of light nuclei is calculated using shell-model wave functions. The results of the calculation are compared with recent experimental results for ${\mathrm{Be}}^9$ and ${\mathrm{B}}^{11}$ and the possibility of obtaining a value for the magnetic octupole moment from an analysis of these experiments is discussed.
