Abstract The unitarised Eikonal Born series (UEBS) method has been used successfully by Byron et al. for elastic scattering of electrons and positrons by hydrogen atoms. Here an attempt is made to apply the UEBS method in the case of elastic scattering of electrons by helium atoms. The total and differential cross sections are calculated for the energy range 100-700 eV. The results are compared with experimental and other theoretical results. It is found that the results obtained with the UEBS method agree best with the experimental results.

We study deuteron- proton elastic scattering in the deuteron energy range between 500 MeV and 2 GeV at the cms scattering angle \theta^*\ge 140^\circθ*≥140∘. The reaction is considered in the relativistic multiple scattering expansion framework. The four reaction mechanisms are included into consideration: one-nucleon exchange, single scattering, double scattering, and the term corresponding to the delta excitation in the intermediate state.The model is applied to describe the angular dependence of the differential cross section at the deuteron energies of between 880 and 1300 MeV. Also the energy dependence of the differential cross section and polarisation observables such as tensor analyzing power T_{20}T20 and polarization transfer from the deuteron to proton \varkappa𝜘 are considered at the scattering angle equal to 180^\circ∘. Contributions of the different reaction mechanisms into the reaction amplitude are demonstrated in comparison with the existing experimental data.

Differential cross sections for elastic scattering and ionization in positron–argon collisions as a function of energy (40–150 eV) are reported at 60°. Of particular interest is the energy range 55–60 eV, where earlier measurements by the Detroit group found a drop in the elastic-scattering cross section of a factor of 2. This structure has been tentatively attributed to a cross channel-coupling effect with an open inelastic-scattering channel, most likely ionization. Our results indicate that ionization remains an important channel over the same energy range and only begins to decrease at an energy above 60 eV.


A simplification of the second Born approximation due to Massey & Mohr is used to calculate the differential cross-sections for the elastic scattering of fast electrons and fast positrons by hydrogen atoms and helium atoms, the method of Dalitz being applied to evaluate all the relevant integrals. Although the logarithmic singularity which is found in the differential cross-section for zero-angle scattering is shown to be absent in the true second Born approximation the use of the simplification of this approximation is justified at sufficiently high impact energies provided the angle of scattering is not too small. The results of the calculations for incident electrons in helium are compared with the available experimental data.
