e-H scattering S-wave model for initial excited states - art. no. 022704

Electron-hydrogen scattering, within the S-wave model, is considered at tot al energies ranging from 1 through to 7 Ry. Scattering cross sections are p resented from initial ground and excited states with particular attention g iven to the case where the initial state is in the continuum. An unexpected minimum is found in the elastic free-free cross section.
