We report the integral elastic cross section for low-energy electron scattering by CS2 molecules. To perform our calculations we used the Schwinger multichannel method with pseudopotentials.We have found, in a static-exchange calculation, a shape resonance around 1 eV that belongs to the Π u symmetry.With the inclusion of polarisation effects only in that symmetry, we show that the resonance becomes a bound state. This result is in agreement with other results available in the literature.

We argue that the most accurate t(d, n)α cross section data obtained by the Los Alamos group are enhanced at energies smaller than Ecm≈16 keV due to screening effects caused by the electrons present in the target. We show that these data in the energy range Ecm=16–70 keV can be well reproduced by a single Breit-Wigner resonance formula which, however, disagrees with the data at lower energies. Consistently the observed deviations can be associated with electron screening effects where the latter are estimated within the Thomas-Fermi model or a static Hartree-Fock approach. Adopting the present Breit-Wigner fit to the data at Ecm≥16 keV , we have calculated the reactivity of a d+t plasma at thermal equilibrium in the temperature range kT<10 keV as it might be important for future fusion reactors.

Data on processes of electron scattering on ions and neutral atoms are required in fundamental studies and in applied research in such fields as astro- and laser physics, low density plasma simulations, kinetic modeling etc. Experimental and computational data on elastic and inelastic electron scattering in a wide range of electron energies is available mostly for the electron interaction with neutral atoms, but are very limited for the scattering on ions, notably for elastic processes. In present work the calculational approaches for the cross-section computation of electron elastic and inelastic scattering on neutral atoms and ions are considered. The atomic and ion properties obtained in quantum-statistical Hartree-Fock-Slater model are used in the direct computation of electron elastic scattering and ionization cross-sections by a partial waves method, semiclassical and distorted-wave approximations. Calculated cross-sections for elastic scattering on nitrogen and oxygen atoms and ions, and electron ionisation cross-sections are compared with the available experimental data and widely used approximations and propose consistent results. Considering applicability of Hartree-Fock-Slater model in wide scope of temperatures and densities, such approach to the cross-section calculation can be used in a broad range of energies and ion charges.

We present a review of theories presently available for describing quasi-elastic electron scattering in both longitudinal and transverse channels. It is argued that calculations that limit their domain to the effects of nuclear structure in a nonrelativistic regime are capable of reconciling theory and experiment in the region of the peak of the quasi-elastic cross-section and thus to a large degree abrogate the need to consider more complex processes.

We have calculated the low energy elastic cross section for electrons incident on lithium atoms via the polarized-orbital method proposed by Temkin. The only further approximations made are the exclusion of core polarization and the use of frozen core Hartree–Fock wave functions. Quite good agreement with previous close-coupling calculations are obtained in the energy range 0.5–3 eV. Surprisingly, the threshold resonance behavior predicted by the close-coupling results is obtained when exchange is neglected, but not when the full polarized-orbital method is used.
