Differential Cross Sections in the Multistate Impact-Parameter Description of Heavy-Particle Collisions

Journal Article · · Physical Review, A (General Physics)
Differential cross sections are derived from a multistate impact- parameter treatment of heavy-particle collisions. Various approximations are suggested and their relationship with previous expressions are discussed. The equivalence between the differential cross sections in the impact-parameter and wave versions of the Born approximation is established for elastic and inelastic scattering and is illustrated explicitly for the 1s, 2s, 2po, and 2p ±1 excitations of atom ic hydrogen by proton and hydrogen-atom-impact.
