Electron Excitation of Nuclei

Abstract
The cross section for an electric 2l-pole transition produced by the electromagnetic field of fast electrons is derived in the Born approximation. Electric dipole-quadrupole interference is also obtained. Deuteron electrodisintegration is further developed, the theory now extending to 150-Mev energy transfers. Characteristic features of electron excitation experiments are mentioned, in particular the possibilities of obtaining information about nuclei and of observing the scattered electrons.
