Abstract
Experimental studies of electron impact excitation, of atoms with closed ns shells are discussed in terms of electron impact coherence parameters, EICPs. Experimental and theoretical data leading to full determination of complex scattering amplitudes for the S-D excitation in helium and S-P in alkaline earth atoms are presented. Similarities and differences in the angular behaviour of EICPs within the alkaline earth group are discussed and compared with helium.
