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.

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).

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.

Capture Cross Sections

In the first Born approximation, the dressing modification in laser-assisted charge exchange collision is investigated. The crosssections for electron capture by a proton from dressed atomic hydrogen and dressed helium targets are calculated within awide energy range. Theoretical results show that with impact energy increasing, the dressing effect leads to increasingly significant cross-section modifications. The modified capture cross sections are increasing functions of the ratio of laser strength to frequency. PACS Nos.: 34.50.Rk; 34.70.+e; 32.80.Wr; and 34.90.+q

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.

The expression for the cross-section obtained from the second Born approximation by including only terms to the third order in the interaction energy is employed to calculate cross-sections for the electron impact excitation of the 2 s level of atomic hydrogen, allow­ance being made for distortion and polarization due to the 1 s , 2 s and 2 p 0.± 1 intermediate states. These cross-sections are compared with the available experimental data.

A detailed description is given of a technique in which emissions from H and H2 are used to calibrate an apparatus used for electron-impact emission cross-section measurements in the wavelength range 90–130 nm. Absolute emission cross sections have been measured at 200 eV electron-impact energy for the 120 nm N I line following dissociative excitation of N2 and for the Ar and Ar+ lines at 104.8, 106.7, 92.0, and 93.8 nm respectively. Good agreement with earlier works is obtained in the case of the N I line when earlier data are renormalized to take into account the recent revision of the cross section for production of Lyman α from H2. Measurements of the 104.8 and 106.7 nm lines suggest a 40% cascade component for the latter line at energies of 200 eV and above.

Intermediate Energies

Calculations of positron–hydrogen scattering at intermediate energies up to a maximum energy of 10 Ryd are performed using the close coupling (CC) approach. A large L2 basis of positron–hydrogen channels (28 states) is supplemented by the Ps(1s), Ps(2s) and Ps(2p) channels. The inclusion of the positronium states in the CC expansion leads to a model which can describe most of the physics of the positron–hydrogen system with a reasonable degree of accuracy. In particular, the positronium formation cross section, the total reaction cross section and the ionisation cross section are all in agreement with experiment. The elastic scattering cross section and the cross sections for positron impact excitation of the H(2s) and H(2p) levels are also reported.

Electron-impact excitation of tungsten ions [Formula: see text] has been studied using the fully relativistic distorted wave (RDW) theory. The excitation cross-sections of selected electric dipole allowed transitions of these ions to be determined for the incident electron energies from the excitation threshold to 20 keV. Further, the calculated cross-section results are fitted with an analytical expression for direct applications in plasma modeling. In addition, using the density matrix theory, the linear polarization of the photons emitted from the excited tungsten ions when decay to their respective ground states is presented.

Theoretical Results

Recently published data for impact of antiprotons in the energy range 30–1000 keV on atomic hydrogen are compared with analogous proton, electron, and positron measurements, and it is found that the ionization cross sections of atomic hydrogen follow the same pattern as similar cross sections obtained on He and H2 targets, in accordance with the general phenomenological description of single ionization that has developed over the last decade. Further comparisons are made with various recent and advanced theoretical calculations for antiproton ionization of atomic hydrogen. These theoretical results agree well with the data obtained, but for lower impact energies the different methods do not, despite the simplicity of the system, agree on predicting even the form of the cross section.

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.
