Abstract
We present calculations of triple-differential cross sections (TDCS) for electrons scattering on the ground state of atomic hydrogen at incident energies of 54.4 and 150 eV. The convergent close-coupling method is used. For this target the method is fully ab initio. The total wave function is expanded in an ever increasing Laguerre basis until convergence in the TDCS has been obtained. We generally find good agreement with experiment, though some small quantitative discrepancies remain.Keywords
