K. Ratnavelu et al., CALCULATION OF THE ELECTRON-IMPACT COHERENCE PARAMETERS FOR EXCITATION OF THE 3(1)D STATE OF HELIUM AT 26.5 EV, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 28(13), 1995, pp. 429-433
The 19-state and 29-state R-matrix methods of Fon et al have been exte
nded to calculate the differential cross section (Dcs) and electron-im
pact coherence parameters (EICP) associated with excitation of the 3 D
-1 state of helium for an incident electron energy of 26.5 eV at elect
ron scattering angles ranging from 0-180 degrees. The calculated EICP
values are compared with the only experimental data reported recently
by McLaughlin et al. The agreement is good.
