Elastic scattering of electrons from He, Ne and Ar atoms at 35 keV

Abstract:

The eikonal Born series (EBS) method is applied to the elastic scattering of electrons by He, Ne and Ar atoms at 35 keV. The differential cross-sections are compared with the numerical results obtained by the partial-wave analysis. A simple analytical Dirac-Hartree-Fock-Slater (DHFS) field is used for these atoms. The results are also obtained by Wallace, Das and modified Das method. An oscillatory nature and a strong forward peak in the cross-section are not found at 35 keV. The results are nearer to the experimental data of Coffmann and M. Fink as well as numerical results based on relativistic partial-wave treatment.
