Scattering of e± by H-isonuclear series

Abstract

Calculations are presented for elastic differential and integrated cross-sections like elastic, momentum transfer, viscosity, inelastic, total (elastic+inelastic) and total ionization along with the Sherman functions for electrons and positrons scattering from hydrogen isonuclear series at incident energies from 1 eV to 1 MeV. To describe the scattering from neutral atoms, this work employs the relativistic Dirac partial wave (phase-shift) analysis with a short-range complex optical-potential model (OPM), comprising static, polarization, exchange (for electrons only), and absorption potentials. This potential is supplemented by the modified Coulomb potential for the same purpose for a charged atom. A reasonable agreement is found when we compare our computed results with available experimental data and other theoretical computations.
