Elastic and 2s, 2p excitation cross sections of hydrogen atom by the Faddeev approach

Abstract

A tractable form of the Faddeev equations has been applied to the e--H collision problem including the effects of the couplings of 1s, 2s and 2p states. Numerical results have been presented for the elastic and 2s, 2p excitation cross sections at an incident energy 13.6 eV neglecting the exchange effects.
