In the MCHF scheme, the wavefunctions of the two states are optimized independently. The convergence of the MCHF results with respect to the addition of orbital functions is considered in some detail. This convergence, together with the results of the CIV3 calculations, lead us to recommend a value of 1.375 for the oscillator strength, with an estimated uncertainty of less than 0.5%. This agrees closely with other recent extensive calculations but is 2.5% higher than the value derived from beam-foil experiments.","PeriodicalId":16799,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics B","volume":"126 1","pages":"4347-4363"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79184097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such an effect was seen by Campbell and Farago in 1987 for 5 eV elecvons. Within OUT detection limit (- 0.02%) we have not observed asymmehic transmission at either an incident electron energy of 1 eV or 5 eV. ln preption for this inquiry, we also measured the total sanering cross section for camphor in the energy range 0.5-5 eV. Optical activity is the rotation of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light as it passes through a chiral medium. A complementary phenomenon is circular dichroism: the preferential absorption of left- or right-handed circularly polarized light in a chiral medium. Farago (1980, 1981) pointed out that symmetry allows similar phenomena to be observed with electrons. Thus 'electron optical activity' is the rotation of a transverse electron spin vector in a plane perpendicular to the momentum in a chiral medium. Similarly, 'electron circular dichroism' is the preferential absorption of left- or right-handed longitudinally- polarized electrons in a vapour of chiral molecules. These parity violating effects arise because the target molecule lacks inversion symmetry. Electron circular dichroism also causes scattered electrons that were initially unpolarized to develop a polarization component in the plane of scattering. Beerlage ef al (1981) first searched for this effect but failed to see it within their experimental limits. A different experiment, performed by Campbell and Farago (1987). looked for preferential transmission of longitudinally polarized electrons through stereoisomers of camphor.
