Elastic and inelastic positron-helium scattering

Elastic and inelastic positron--helium scatterings have been investigated with the coupled-channel optical method (CCO). Ionization continuum and positronium formation channels are included via a complex equivalent-local optical potential. Calculations are reported of cross sections of elastic scattering, total excitation and n=2, 3, and 4 excitations of ground-state helium for incident energies from 30~eV to 400~eV. The present calculation shows that the ionization and Ps-formation channels significantly affect the cross sections of elastic and inelastic positron--helium scatterings.     

Optical potential approach for positron scattering by metastable 2~3S state of helium

The momentum space coupled channels optical(CCO) method for positron scattering has been extended to study the scattering of positrons by metastable helium for impact energies in the range from the positronium threshold up to high energies. Both the positronium formation and ionization continuum channels are included in the calculations via a complex equivalent local potential. The positronium formation, ionization, elastic and 2~3S–2~3P excitation, and total scattering cross sections are all presented and compared with the available information.     

Low Energy Scattering of Electrons by Sodium

The low energy scattering of electrons by sodium at incident energies up to ionization threshold are calculated by applying the momentum space coupled-channel-optical （CCO） method. The present results are in good agreement with the previous experimental and theoretical results. Furthermore, three resonances in the total cross sections observed by previous experiments are proved by the present calculation.     

Elastic backscattering cross sections of protons on oxygen

Absolute values of elastic scattering cross section of protons in the energy region 600–2,000 keV have been measured on oxygen for scattering angles between 110 and 160°. The method applied in the present work is advantageous in regard to determine absolute cross sections, since quantities such as proton particle fluence and detection geometry can be neglected. The results show that the measured cross sections are considerable higher than Rutherford cross sections for proton energies close to 2,000 keV. No resonances are observed in the energy region studied.

Positron scattering from alkaline-earth elements

The total (elastic + inelastic) cross sections fore ⁺ impact on alkaline-earth elements from Be to Ra are calculated by employing a complex spherical optical potential.

Electron scattering with open-shell molecules: R-matrix method

Many molecules with an even number of electrons belong to open-shell systems due to π ² ground state electronic configuration. This configuration gives rise to three low-lying states X ³ Σ ⁻, a Δ ¹ and b ¹ Σ ⁺. The inclusion of these target states in a trial wave function of the entire scattering system have important implications in the resonances that may be detected in these open-shell molecules. Various molecules like O₂, PX (X = H and halogens), SO, Si₂, BF have π ² ground state configuration. The R-matrix method is a well established ab initio formalism to calculate differential, integral and momentum-transfer cross sections for the elastic scattering of electrons by molecules. We have calculated these cross sections for PH and SO molecules in the incident electron energy range 0–10 eV. The results are obtained by using the R-matrix method in which the closecoupling expansion of the wave function of the scattering system includes only the ground state. This target state is described by configuration interaction wave function that includes correlation effects. The cross section for electron impact on PH and SO are presented.

Elastic electron scattering with CH2Br2 and CCl2Br2: The role of the polarization effects

We present elastic electron scattering cross sections with holmethane molecules CH₂Br₂ and CCl₂Br₂ in the low-energy region ranging from 0.01 eV to 20 eV. The calculations are performed with the R-matrix method in static-exchange plus polarization (SEP) and close-coupling (CC) approximations. The integral, differential, and momentum transfer cross sections are calculated. The convergence of the obtained cross sections is checked at four different levels of SEP approximation. The predicted positions of the resonances agree well with available results. The precise resonance parameters are found to be sensitive to the treatment of polarization effects employed. We find that the polarization has a substantial effect on the cross sections, and this effect becomes even more important for lower impact energies.     

Observation of multichannel collisions of cold metastable calcium atoms

Recent theoretical work indicates that collisions between metastable alkaline-earth atoms (AEAs) in the presence of external magnetic fields should be largely determined by partial waves with large angular momenta even at very low temperatures. Unusually large inelastic collision cross sections were predicted and doubts have been raised regarding the feasibility of evaporative cooling of metastable AEAs in magnetic traps. Here we present experimental data for 40Ca[4s4p]3 P2 clearly confirming the asserted multichannel character of the collision mechanism. While elastic cross sections are found to be similar to the predicted values, inelastic cross sections exceed the calculations by an order of magnitude. Our results substantiate the expectation of inefficient evaporative cooling.

Electron Scattering by C4H10 and C6H6 in the Energy Range 100--1000eV

We investigate the applicability of the independent atom model （IAM） to elastic electron scattering from complex polyatomic molecules, namely C4H10 and C6H6, in the energy range 100-1000eV. The cross sections of the elastic electron scattering are calculated by employing the IAM together with the relativistic partial waves. The incorporation of both the modified absorption potential and the extended structural factor in the IAM makes the elastic differential cross sections and momentum transfer cross sections have a good agreement with the available experimental data. The present simple model seems to be insensitive to the complexity of the target molecules so that the proposed procedure can be quite useful for calculation of electron scattering from bio-molecules.

Absolute electron scattering cross sections for the CF2 radical

Using a crossed electron-molecular beam experiment, featuring a skimmed nozzle beam with pyrolytic radical production, absolute elastic cross sections for electron scattering from the CF2 molecule have been measured. A new technique for placing measured cross sections on an absolute scale is used for molecular beams produced as skimmed supersonic jets. Absolute differential cross sections for CF2 are reported for incident electron energies of 30-50 eV and over an angular range of 20-135 deg. Integral cross sections are subsequently derived from those data. The present data are compared to new theoretical predictions for the differential and integral scattering cross sections, as calculated with the Schwinger multichannel variational method using the static-exchange and static-exchange plus polarization approximations.
