The 6¹S₀-6³P₁ electron-impact excitation of mercury has been studied by a combination of the techniques of electron-photon coincidence and polarized-electron scattering. Spin-up-down asymmetries were measured at collision energies of 8 and 15 eV and scattering angles ranging from 5^∘{} to 120^∘{}. Linear light polarization filters allowed the separate observation of the MJ=0 and MJ=±1 sublevel excitations and the determination of the linear light-polarization component ζ 3. The experimental data yield detailed information about the influence of different spin-dependent interactions on electron-impact excitation.
