Abstract:
We present a new interferometric setup where interference of a fast probe electron affects the ionization cross section of an atom. Interference is detected in the intensity of the inelastically scattered electrons at the Bragg scattering angle in transmission. The crystal serves both as a target for core ionization and as a beam-splitting and phase-shifting device.
