Mott scattering
Mott scattering, also referred to as spin-coupling inelastic Coulomb scattering, is the separation of the two spin states of an electron beam by scattering the beam off the Coulomb field of heavy atoms. It is mostly used to measure the spin polarization of an electron beam. In lay terms, Mott scattering is similar to Rutherford scattering but electrons are used instead of alpha particles as they do not interact via the strong force (only weak and electromagnetic). This enables them to penetrate the atomic nucleus, giving valuable insight into the nuclear structure.
