The results tend to confirm the Mott spin-orbital coupling theory in preference to the relativistic Rutherford results. However low statistical accuracy precludes definite choice between the theories. A review of previous experimental results is included together with some remarks on the scattering of positrons.pdfen-NZhttps://www.wgtn.ac.nz/library/about-us/policies-and-strategies/copyright-for-the-researcharchiveChemistryTextAll rights, except those explicitly waived, are held by the Author
