Sinopsis

Explore a practical approach to electron-hydrogen collisions using a variational lens that clarifies cross-section calculations. This work applies Schwinger’s variational expression to elastic scattering, showing how Born trial fields can make complex integrals tractable and improve results over the ordinary Born approximation at low energies.

This edition discusses how a static Hartree field, as well as the full Green’s function, affect scattering amplitudes. It reveals how higher atomic states and the continuum contribute to polarization phenomena during collisions, and it compares variational results with exact calculations to demonstrate accuracy and limits. The text also outlines the mathematical foundation, the treatment of exchange and polarization, and the practical steps to evaluate multi-dimensional integrals involved in the method.


  • Foundations of the Schwinger variational method for scattering problems.

  • How Born trial fields simplify the calculation of cross-sections at low energies.

  • The roles of excited states and the continuum in elastic scattering.

  • A comparison of variational results with exact and Born approximations.



Ideal for readers of advanced atomic physics and researchers exploring collision theory and cross-section calculations.

Excerpt from A Variational Calculation of the Elastic: Scattering of Electrons, by Hydrogen Atoms

One of the important problems of upper atmospheric and astrophysical research is the determination of the frequencies of collisions between electrons and atomic systems. Informa tion on this subject can be obtained from a knowledge of the total cross-section, Q, and to some extent from the differential cross-section, (hg), of the collision.

The temperatures at which these collisions occur are of such a magnitude that the electron energies are of the order of a fraction of an electron volt, and at these low energies the problems associated with experimental determinations of the cross-sections become complex. Consequently there is a deficiency of experimental data. It is therefore essential to have theoretical methods for calculating the cross-sections.
