Abstract
For pt.II see abstr. A47878 of 1974. The distorted wave polarized orbital models described previously are used to calculate total and differential cross sections for 1s to np (n-2,3,4) transitions in H and He+. The calculated total 2p cross sections agree with experiment within +or-10% at all energies above 20 eV. Differential cross sections for total n=2 excitation are in good agreement with experiment at 50 eV and angles below 60 degrees . The predictions for 90 degrees polarization of Ly alpha also agree closely with experiment for E>or=20 eV.Keywords
