48. R. Vollmer (private communication). Reference 29 considered beam energies larger than used to obtain the actual dispersion curve data in Ref. 15; for very low beam energies the spin wave cross section appears to be larger than estimated in Ref. 29. This is a difficult energy regime to treat in theory, because at such low energies, the beam electron is influenced very importantly by the image barrer.
