Our recent distorted-wave approximation calculation for the electron-impact excitation cross sections of the helium atom from its 23S state to upper states was extended to obtain alignment and orientation parameters for n3P (n = 2, 3, 4) excitations. Further, similar results are obtained by considering the excitation by impact of positrons. The calculated alignment and orientation results are compared with the only available theoretical electron-impact results obtained using first-order many-body theory.

We have derived the total wave function of a many body system scattering by a charged particle by using a first order perturbation technique (the polarized orbital method). The derivation is based on an adiabatic approximation for the incoming particle. Particular cases of electrons colliding with the alkali atoms are shown. S, P, and D wave phase shifts and the total elastic cross sections for electron–sodium atom scattering are calculated using this method for the energy range 0 to 4 eV.

Electron-impact excitation cross sections of the electric dipole-allowed 3s2 1S0–3s3p [Formula: see text] transition in Mg-like argon (Ar6+) are calculated using the configuration-interaction and effective many-body Hamiltonian R-matrix close-coupling methods. The near-threshold electron-impact excitation cross sections computed with the effective many-body Hamiltonian R-matrix close-coupling method are in good agreement with the benchmark experimental results.
