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).

The excitation cross sections of the nS states, n = 2 to 6, of atomic hydrogen at various incident positron energies (10.23 to 300 eV) were calculated using the variational polarized-orbital method. Nine partial waves were used to obtain converged cross sections. The present results should be useful for comparison with results obtained from other theories and approximations. The positron-impact cross section was found to be higher than the electron-impact cross sections. Experimental and other theoretical results are discussed. The threshold law of excitation is discussed and the cross sections in this region were seen to obey the threshold law proportional to ( ln k f ) − 2 . Cross sections were calculated in the Born approximation also and compared to those obtained using the variational polarized orbital method.

Excitation Cross Sections

The excitation cross-sections of the nS states of atomic hydrogen, n = 2 to 6, by electron impact on the ground state of atomic hydrogen were calculated using the variational polarized-orbital method at various incident electron energies in the range 10 to 122 eV. Converged excitation cross-sections were obtained using sixteen partial waves (L = 0 to 15). Excitation cross-sections to 2S state, calculated earlier, were calculated at higher energies than before. Results obtained using the hybrid theory (variational polarized orbital method) are compared to those obtained using other approaches such as the Born–Oppenheimer, close-coupling, R-matrix, and complex-exterior scaling methods using only the spherical symmetric wave functions. Phase shifts and elastic cross-sections are given at various energies and angular momenta. Excitation rate coefficients were calculated at various electron temperatures, which are required for plasma diagnostics in solar and astrophysics to infer plasma parameters. Excitation cross-sections are compared with those obtained by positron impact excitation.

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.

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.
