Convergent close-coupling calculations of low-energy positron-atomic-hydrogen scattering

Abstract

The convergent close coupling approach developed by the authors is applied to positron scattering from atomic hydrogen below the first excitation threshold. In this approach the multi-channel expansion one-electron states are obtained by diagonalizing the target Hamiltonian in a large Laguerre basis. It is demonstrated that this expansion of the scattering wave function is sufficient to reproduce the very accurate low-energy variational results, provided target states with l{<=} 15 are included in the expansions. 10 refs., 1 tab.
