Abstract

The (e, e′γ) coincidence reaction is considered in detail. The formalism is developed in a way which emphasizes the connection between this reaction and studies of the scattering of (possibly polarized) electrons from polarized nuclei. A wide variety of examples is given to demonstrate the usefulness of the (e, e′γ) reaction for nuclear structure studies and to demonstrate how this reaction serves as both a complement and a supplement to electron scattering from polarized nuclei. Finally, a few cases of special interest are discussed.
