We reinvestigate a key process in electron-atom collision physics, the elastic scattering of electrons from helium atoms. Specifically, results from a special-purpose relativistic polarized-orbital method, which is designed to treat elastic scattering only, are compared with those from a very extensive, fully ab initio, general-purpose B-spline R-matrix (close-coupling) code.

Benchmark intensity ratio measurements of the energy loss lines of krypton for excitation of the 4p61S0→4p55s[3/2]2, 4p55s[3/2]1, 4p55s′[1/2]0, and 4p55s′[1/2]1 transitions are reported, these being the lowest electronic excitations for krypton. The importance of these ratios as stringent tests of theoretical electron scattering models for the noble gases is discussed, as well as the role of spin-exchange and direct processes regarding the angular dependence of these ratios. The experimental data are compared with predictions from fully-relativistic B-spline R-matrix (close-coupling) calculations.

We have applied the full-relativistic Dirac B-Spline R-matrix method to obtain cross sections for electron scattering from ytterbium atoms. The results are compared with those obtained from a semi-relativistic (Breit-Pauli) model-potential approach and the few available experimental data.

We present the energy dependence of electron–argon and electron–krypton differential cross sections for elastic scattering, discuss their general characteristics, and compare them with existing equivalent data on positron scattering. The present measurements were stimulated by corresponding positron–heavy rare-gas-atom results. Our first aim is to provide a set of data that can be directly compared with the data on positron scattering and hence possibly contribute to the understanding of structures in that data.

The r.m.s. charge radius of Argon-40 was measured by elastic electron scattering in the momentum transfer range 0.5 < q < 0.85 fm−1. The result obtained using a phase shift code and assuming a Fermi distribution was 3.473 ± 0.045 fm.

The charge radii of 20, 22Ne have been measured by elastic scattering of electrons. The data have been analyzed in the first Born approximation as well as with a phase shift analysis. The results obtained are R(22Ne)/R(20Ne) = 0.976 ± 0.010. This anomaly is shown to be consistent with ground state deformations in 20, 22Ne.
