Scattering factors for the elastic scattering from uranium and argon of 40-kv electrons were obtained by partial wave analysis. In the case of argon both Thomas - Fermi -- Dirac and Hartree - Fock fields we re used in the calculation. For uranium, only the ThomasFermi-- Dirac field was utilized. Various approximate techniques for obtainlng the partial waves as well as direct numerical integration of the Schrodinger equation were employed. For the first time accurate numerical solutions of the electron scattering problem in the kilovolt energy range, within the framework of the usual nonrelativistic scattering theory, were obtained. Uncentainties in the scattering factors and in the use of the various approximate techniques for obtaining partial waves are discussed. (auth)
