The electron impact excitation of He+ to the n = 2 level is studied using two variants of the polarized orbital method, one due to Daskhan et al. and the other due to Temkin and Lamkin. The present results for 1s–2p total excitation cross sections are in fair agreement with the measured values. For the 1s–2s excitation, our values fail to reproduce the more elaborate theoretical prediction by Morgan near the threshold energies.

The excitation cross-sections of the 2S state of atomic hydrogen at low (near threshold energy) to high incident positron energies (10.30 to 300 eV) have been calculated using the variational polarized-orbital method. Nine partial waves have been used to obtain converged cross-sections in the above energy range. The cross sections compared to the electron-impact excitation of the S state of atomic hydrogen are larger in the present case. The maximum cross section is 3.63(−1) π a 0 2 at 16.5 eV compared to 1.37(−1) π a 0 2 at 11.14 eV for the electron-impact excitation. The present results are compared with other calculations. Cross-sections have also been calculated in the Born approximation in which the polarization of the target has been included. Differential cross sections were calculated at k = 1.0 (13.6eV), 2.5 (85 eV), 3.483 (200 3V), and 4.696 (300 eV).

A realistic analytical central potential with two adjustable parameters is used to generate wavefunctions for the ground and excited states of doubly ionized boron. Generalized oscillator strengths and integrated cross sections from threshold up to 5 keY are calculated in the Born approximation for 2s-ns, 2s-np and 2s-nd excitations. Convenient analytic formulae for the cross sections are presented.
