Description

A multichannel eikonal treatment of atomic collisions is presented and applied to the excitation of atomic helium by electrons with incident energy E in the range 50≤E≤500 eV. Two different sets of orthogonal wave functions are employed. A four-channel description yields differential- and total- excitation cross sections in satisfactory agreement with experiment.
