DIFFERENTIAL CROSS SECTIONS FOR ELECTRONS ELASTICALLY SCATTERED BY HELIUM ATOMS,
Abstract
The differential cross sections for the elastic scattering of electrons by helium atoms at a few selected electron impact energies, in the 10-50 eV energy range, are calculated by using the adiabatic-exchange phase shifts of Labhan and Callaway (1964) for the l = 0, 1 and 2 partial waves, and the static-dipole phase shifts for the higher partial waves. The calculated values are in satisfactory accord with the experimental data of Bullard and Massey (1931) and of Hughes, McMillen and Webb (1932) and with the theoretical values of Khare and Moiseiwitsch (1965), who included exchange only indirectly. The effect of quadrupole polarizability potential on the differential cross sections is also examined and is found to be small. (Author)
