The Lorentzian renormalization plasma shielding effects on the elastic electron–atom collision are investigated in generalized Lorentzian semiclassical plasmas. The eikonal analysis and the effective interaction potential are employed to obtain the eikonal scattering phase shift, differential eikonal collision cross section, and total eikonal collision cross section as functions of the collision energy, impact parameter, nonthermal renormalization parameter, and spectral index of the Lorentzian plasma. It is found that the influence of Lorentzian renormalization shielding suppresses the eikonal scattering phase shift and, however, enhances the eikonal collision cross section in Lorentzian semiclassical plasmas. Additionally, the energy dependence on the total collision cross section in nonthermal plasmas is found to be more significant than that in thermal plasmas.

AbstractThe non-thermal renormalization shielding effects on the elastic electron–atom collision process are investigated in partially ionized generalized Lorentzian non-thermal plasmas. The eikonal analysis for the Hamilton–Jacobi solution and impact parameter method are employed to obtain the eikonal scattering phase shift and eikonal cross section as functions of the collision energy, Debye length, impact parameter, and spectral index of the Lorentzian plasma. It is found that the non-thermal renormalization shielding effect enhances the eikonal scattering phase shift as well as the eikonal collision cross section, especially for small impact parameter domains. It is also found that the non-thermal renormalization shielding effect on the eikonal scattering phase shift decreases with an increase of the impact parameter. In addition, it is found that the maximum position of the eikonal collision cross section has receded from the collision center with an increase of the non-thermal character of the plasma.

A key process in the muon-catalysed fusion cycle is a low-energy collision of a tμ atom with a DA molecule, where A is H, D, or T, which leads at appropriate incident energies, to the formation of a resonant complex containing dtμ. In this paper, methods of calculating the resonant formation rate of dtμ are discussed. A description is given of a new approach that makes use of coupled equations for the rearrangement scattering process and elements of Feshbach's theory of resonances to obtain an expression for the cross section for resonant dtμ formation. The insights gained from this approach are discussed.

Abstract– The interactions of low-energy electrons (<20 eV) with D-ribose molecules, namely, electron scattering and dissociative attachment, are studied. The results of these studies showed that the fragmentation of D-ribose molecules occurs effectively even at an electron energy close to zero. as well as in the energy range 5.50–9.50 eV. In the total cross section of electron scattering by molecules, resonance features at energies of 5.00–9.00 eV in the region of formation of ionic fragments C3H4O2–, C2H3O2–, OH–, associated with the destruction of molecular heterocycles, were experimentally discovered for the first time. The correlation of the features observed in the scattering and dissociative electron attachment cross sections is analyzed.

Cross sections in the very low energy range are also represented by the modified effective-range theory (MERT) for low-energy electron scattering from the rare gas (argon). Simulations using published (theoretical) phase shifts indicate that extended versions of the standard effective-range theory with four adjustable parameters are required to give an adequate description of the phase shifts for argon. A four-parameter MERT fit gives a good representation of a recent electron–argon (e-Ar) total cross section experiment at energies less than 10.0 eV. Cross section Q(l) (E) for collision in dilute gases is given for any order l. Here Q(l) (E) are presented for l = 1. . .6. We present calculations for the elastic cross sections for electron scattering from argon. The improvement in the agreement between our theoretical calculations and the experimental measurements in the case of argon in scattering calculations are showed. Differential scattering experiments have been performed for the systems e-Ar in the energy range E = 0–10 eV and the angular range θ = 0–20° using a crossed-beam arrangement. Differential and integrated cross sections for the elastic scattering of low- and intermediate-energy (0–50 eV) electrons by argon atoms are calculated. For each impact energy, the phase shifts of the lower partial waves are obtained exactly by numerical integration of the radial equation. Transport coefficients of argon plasma are requested exactly, which is why we calculated the average collision cross sections for s = 1. . .11, l = 1. . .6.
