Elastic Scattering of Electron by a Calcium Atom using Distorted Wave Method at High Impact Energies

Abstract

Distorted wave method has been employed in the calculation of the differential and integral cross sections for elastic scattering of electron by calcium atom at impact energies between 60 and 200 eV. The results obtained were compared with experimental and theoretical results available. The present results for the differential cross-sections are in good agreement with both theoretical and experimental literature results while the integral cross-sections shows that present results are compare well with the available experimental results.

Key words: Cross-sections, distortion potential, distorted wave, static potential and spherical harmonics
