29. When recording excitation functions, the acquisition computer scans the incident electron energy (steps of typically 40 meV) and sets the subsequent calculated potentials applied to the focalization lens systems, located at the exit of the monochromator and at the entrance of the analyzer. The variation laws for these potentials have been determined for the surface under study according to the following criterion: maximization of the elastic count rate that preserves a constant resolution as a function of incident energy.

32. Three peaks are resolved at 350, 361, and 376 meV. But a fitting procedure of the whole feature in the energy range 340–395 meV with Gaussian functions having a FWHM equal to the energy resolution shows that at least five loss processes are involved.
