Mp. Scott et al., ELECTRON-SCATTERING FROM HYDROGEN-ATOMS AT INTERMEDIATE ENERGIES - INTEGRATED CROSS-SECTIONS FOR N = 1 TO N = 3 TRANSITIONS, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 26(23), 1993, pp. 827-830
The reduced IERM approach is applied to electron scattering from hydro
gen atoms to obtain accurate integrated cross sections for n = 1 to n
= 3 transitions at intermediate energies. The results are in good agre
ement with recent coupled pseudostate calculations and with experiment
but show that earlier work including 15 bound states in a close coupl
ing expansion considerably overestimates these cross sections.
