摘要：

This paper describes a method for reducing the influence of cascades on the measurement of electron excitation cross sections using the optical method and a fast beam atomic target. By using a fast beam of target atoms one can reduce the influence of cascades on a measurement, and estimate the cascade contribution to the excitation signal.
