Excitation of the anomalously low lying nuclear isomer ^{229m}Th(3/2^{+},8.28±0.17  eV) in the process of inelastic electron scattering is studied theoretically in the framework of the perturbation theory for the quantum electrodynamics. The calculated cross sections of ^{229m}Th by the extremely low energy electrons in the range 9-12 eV for the Th atom and Th^{1+,4+} ions lie in the range 10^{-25}-10^{-26}  cm^{2}. Being so large, the cross section opens up new possibilities for the effective… Expand
