Electron scattering, elastic

The precision of this atomic table top measurement exceeds the accuracy of previous measurements based on elastic electron scattering by an order of magnitude. The reanalysis of electron scattering data by Sick and Trautmann [43] yields a value with an increased uncertainty, which is in good agreement with the data obtained in the Garching experiment.
