R. Szmytkowski, ELASTIC POSITRON SCATTERING FROM ZINC AND CADMIUM IN THE RELATIVISTICPOLARIZED ORBITAL APPROXIMATION, Acta Physica Polonica. A, 84(6), 1993, pp. 1035-1040
Results of relativistic calculations on the elastic positron scatterin
g from zinc and cadmium atoms are presented in the low-energy region.
The ab initio calculated polarization potentials applied in these calc
ulations were obtained by solving the coupled Dirac-Hartree-Fock equat
ions. It is shown that the indirect relativistic effects play an impor
tant role in the description of the scattering process. Particularly,
relativity has a great influence on values of scattering lengths.
