Abstract
The results of a pseudostate expansion for low-order partial waves (0<or=L<or=3) are combined with the distorted-wave polarized-orbital method for higher partial waves in order to obtain cross sections for excitation of the 2s and 2p levels of atomic hydrogen by electron impact for incident energies in the range 10-30 eV. Both total and differential cross sections are calculated. Results are also presented for Ly alpha polarization and for the total cross section for all scattering processes.Keywords
