Relative elastic-scattering differential cross sections were measured in the 5--100-eV impact energy and 10/sup 0/--145/sup 0/ angular ranges. Normalization of these cross sections was achieved by utilizing accurate total electron-scattering cross sections. A phase-shift analysis of the angular distributions in terms of real phase shifts has been carried out. From the differential cross sections we obtained momentum-transfer cross sections and established the value of the critical energy and angle (associated with the lowest value of the differential cross section) as 62.5 +- 2.5 eV and 101.7/sup 0/ +- 1.5/sup 0/, respectively. The present phase shifts, the critical parameters, and differential, integral, and momentum-transfer cross sections are compared to previous experimental and theoretical results. The error associated with the present data is about 10%.
