Abstract
The elastic scattering of high-energy electrons at 180° from He⁴
has been discussed with the purpose of determining an upper limit to
the electric dipole moment λ of the electron. Our calculations have
shown that, with the Saskatchewan Linear Electron Accelerator, it will
be possible to measure an upper limit as small as λ ≤ 7.1 x 10‾⁶ eħ/m·c
without cancellation or masking of the effect of λ on the final results
by the second-order effects. Our calculations include the effects, on
the final results, of energy losses and multiple scattering encountered
by the electrons in traversing the target.
