Abstract
The relativistic optical potential method has been used to calculate a complete set of cross sections for positron scattering from neon and argon in the energy range from zero to 1 keV. Elastic, positronium formation, excitation, direct ionization, and grand total cross sections are presented and compared to the recommended results of Ratnavelu et al. (J Phys Chem Ref Data 48:023102, 2019). Here, positronium formation is modeled as an ionization process by successively lowering the ionization thresholds. This process was carried out for the four lowest energy levels of positronium.Graphical abstract
