Rational function fits are calculated for a representative set of elastic, nonresonant e + He differential cross sections (DCS) comprising: (1) the variation DCS of Nesbet (Phys. Rev. A 20, 58, 1979; 0.1-14 eV), (2) the eikonal DCS of Byron and Joachain (Phys. Rev. A 15, 128, 1977; 300-700 eV extrapolated to 1000 eV), and (3) the experimental data of Wagenaar et al. (J. Phys. B 19, 3124, 1986; 20-100 eV, 0[degrees]-10[degrees]), Register et al. (Phys. Rev. A 21, 1134, 1980; 20-200 eV), Bromberg (J. Chem. Phys. 61, 963, 1974; 200-700 eV) and Jansen et al. (J. Phys. B 9, 185, 1976; 200-1000 eV) with priorities in the order given. The fits, expressed as functions of the scattering angle with the impact energy as parameter, form smooth functions both over angles [theta] and energies E for easy interpolation. Maximum deviation from the data set is 10.4 % for experiments and 20% for theory at low angles [le] 10[degrees], where theory deviates from experiments. Comparisons in symbolic form between the present fits and DCS results from the experimental and theoretical literature of the past 10 years are also given. 24 refs., 4 tabs.
