The values of the effective scattering angle 〈θ〉 of a relativistic electron beam injected through an anode foil are analyzed by different methods in the light of reported values for various beam-plasma heating experiments. Wide variations in calculated 〈θ〉 are noted depending on the method used. It is argued that the 〈θ2〉1/2 expression corrected for Molière screening and the (1/e) equivalent from the Monte Carlo code give nearly the same average scattering angle and one of them should be used to determine 〈θ〉. It is also seen that a small variation in 〈θ〉 alters significantly the plasma temperature estimate.
