Abstract

Electron scattering experiments from oriented nuclei have so far been carried out for one heavy nucleus only, that of holmium. Scattering from light nuclei has the advantages that the elastic scattering is unencumbered by unresolved low-level excitations and that the small distortion of the electron wave function renders orientation effects relatively quite pronounced despite small quadrupole moments, thus permitting the use of the Born approximation. Assuming 100% alignment, we calculate large orientation effects for elastic and also for inelastic scattering from oriented B10, as well as for 180° magnetic elastic scattering; for more realistic alignments we predict easily measurable effects.
