Measurement of electron-impact-excitation cross sections and oscillator strengths for Kr

Abstract
Differential excitation cross sections have been measured for Kr 4p6 (1 S0)→4p5 (2 P1/2,3/2)5s transitions at 300- and 500-eV impact energies and for 1.5°–10° scattering angles by electron-energy-loss spectroscopy. The integrated cross sections for these impact energies are reported here. The generalized oscillator strengths have also been obtained to determine the optical oscillator strengths. The errors are estimated to be less than 15%.
