Cross-sections for excitation of the 2 3 P state of helium from the ground state have been calculated by the distorted-wave method. The polarization of radiation emitted as a result of the excitation is also calculated. Comparison is made with the corresponding results given by the Born—Oppenheimer approximation. Although there are considerable differences at electron energies below 100 eV these are much less marked than for the excitation of the 2 3 S state. The distorted wave method gives cross-sections in closer agreement with observation but substantial discrepancies still remain. It is difficult, however, to estimate their magnitude with any certainty because there are inconsistencies in the observed data.

The double differential cross sections for electron impact ionization of helium are evaluated in the framework of a distorted wave approximation that takes into account the effects of initial channel, final channel, and target distortion. The present results are in fair agreement with the measured values and rigorous DWBA (distorted-wave Born approximation) results of McCarthy and Zhang.
