Description

The optical model for electron scattering on atoms has quite a short history in comparison with nuclear physics. The main reason for this is that there were insufficient data. Angular distribution for elastic and some inelastic scattering have now been measured for the atoms which exist in gaseous form at reasonable temperatures, inert gases, hydrogen, alkalies and mercury being the main ones out in. The author shows that the optical model makes sense in atomic physics by considering its theory and recent history. (orig./AH)

Abstract (German)

Das optische Modell fuer Elektronenstreuung hat im Vergleich zur Kernphysik eine sehr kurze Geschichte. Der Hauptgrund dafuer ist, dass es nur unzureichende Daten gab. Nun sind Winkelverteilungen fuer elastische und einige inelastische Streuungen fuer einige Atome gemessen worden, die bei angemessenen Temperaturen gasfoermig vorkommen, Edelgase, Wasserstoff, Alkalimetalle und Quecksilber sind die hauptsaechlichsten. Der Autor zeigt, dass das optische Modell in der Atomphysik sinnvoll ist, indem er dessen juengste Geschichte betrachtet. (orig./AH)
