Elastic scattering of spin polarized electrons from krypton.

Calculated values of the Sherman function for krypton at 60 and 65eV incident electron energy show large predicted values and a rapid dependence on energy for the sign of the asymmetry. These unexpectedly large asymmetries have prompted an experimental investigation of this target. In this paper the current status of these measurements and further theoretical and experimental results for the Sherman function for elastic scattering of spin polarised electrons from krypton will be discussed.
