Description

We calculate differential cross sections and Stokes parameters using the R-matrix method with 24, 32 and 38 target states for the transition from the 3s21S state to the 3s3d 1D state in magnesium by electron impact. Results at incident electron energies of 10 and 20 eV are obtained and compared with available experimental and theoretical results. Except at near forward-scattering angles at 10 eV, overall good agreement is found with measurements for the differential cross sections. (author)
