Election scattering was introduced as a means of exploring atomic fields by Arnot and by Bullard and Massey in 1931. Experiments were made on the rare gases, and results were obtained which were in satisfactory agreement with the theory developed in 1927 by Faxèn and Holtsmark. The method consists of projecting a homogeneous beam of electrons into a space filled with gas at low pressure, and measuring the relative magnitude of the electron current scattered through different angles from a small volume (about 3 or 4 cu mm) of the gas. On account of the random distribution of the scattering centres these relative magnitudes are independent of interference between electron waves mattered from different atoms. Most of the common gases, the rare gases, and the vapours of zinc, cadmium, mercury, and potassium have been investigated in this way.

The theory of the scattering of electrons by neon and argon in the energy range 0 to 13.6 eV is worked out with allowance for both exchange and polarization effects. The polarized orbital method introduced by Temkin has been used to estimate the polarization contribution and good agreement is obtained with the experimental data, right down to the lowest energies. Inclusion of exchange alone is not sufficient.
