Description

Results from a fully relativistic 36-state Dirac B-spline R-matrix (close-coupling) calculation are reported and compared with experimental data for angle-integrated and angle-differential cross sections, as well as spin-polarization and electron-impact coherence parameters. In most cases we obtain significant improvement in the agreement between experiment and theory compared to previous distorted-wave and close-coupling attempts.
