Abstract
An exact series solution of the classical deflection angle is developed for the potential V=C/r8 (C > 0). The series converges at all impact parameters. In addition, upper and lower bounds for θ are constructed from the series as an aid to numerical computation. Finally, the classical differential cross section is evaluated from the deflection angle.Keywords
