Abstract
We measure the integrated Stokes parameters of light from Zn (4s4p)4^{3}P_{0,1}-(4s5s)5^{3}S_{1} transitions excited by a transversely polarized electron impact at energies between 7.0 and 8.5eV. Our results for the electron-polarization-normalized linear polarization Stokes parameter P_{2}, between incident electron energies 7.0 and 7.4eV, are consistent with zero, as required by basic angular-momentum coupling considerations and by recent theoretical calculations. They are in qualitative disagreement with previous experimental results for the P_{2} parameter.
