THE ELASTIC SCATTERING OF POSITRONS BY ATOMS AND MOLECULES
Journal Article
·
· Proc. Phys. Soc. (London)
The information available concerning the cross sections for elastic scattering of slow positrons by helium, neon, argon, and hydrogen is analyzed in terms of collision theory. Evidence is found that the polarization of the neutral atom or molecule by the incident positron is important in these collisions. A variational calculation of scattering hy atomic hydrogen does not support this conclusion. Further methods of investigating the problem are suggested. (auth)
