Elastic scattering of electrons from He,Ne and Ar atoms at 35 keV

The eikonal Born series method is applied to the elastic scattering of electrons by He, Ne and Ar atoms at 35 keV. The differential cross-sections are compared with the numerical results obtained by the partial-wave analysis. A simple analytical Dirac-Hartree-Fock-Slater field is used for these atoms. The results are also obtained by Wallace, Das and modified Das method. An oscillatory nature and a strong forward peak in the cross-section are not found at 35 keV. The results are nearer to the experimental data of Coffmann and M. Fink as well as numerical results based on relativistic partial-wave treatment. (orig.)
