Spin asymmetry in resonant electron-hydrogen elastic scattering

Description

Differential cross sections and asymmetries at 90 degree and 30 degree are calculated for electron-hydrogen elastic scattering over the energies of the lowest 1S and 3P resonances using a nine-state coupled-channel calculation with and without continuum effects, which are represented by an equivalent local polarization potential. The polarization potential improves agreement with experiment in general for the spin-averaged cross sections. It is suggested that continuum effects would be critically tested by asymmetry measurements at 30 degree over the 1S resonance
