Abstract
The correlation-polarization (CP) model-potential, given by O’Connell and Lane (1983) as well as Padial and Norcross (1984) is examined for the elastic scattering of electrons by oxygen atoms, at intermediate energies. The correlation potential is found to be stronger than necessary at low energies. Two model polarization potentials based on the CP model, are suggested and employed to thee − — O scattering at 8.7, 30, 50 and 100 eV energies. The calculated total cross-sections agree in general with the other data at these energies.
