Abstract

A completely relativistic distorted-wave calculation of the excitation of mercury from the ground 6 1S0 state to the 6 1P1 and 6 3P0,1,2 states by electron impact has been carried out. A complete set of cross sections, spin polarization and orientation and alignment parameters are presented at 40 eV. Detailed comparisons of the present results with existing theoretical calculations and with the extensive experimental measurements of the spin asymmetry parameter and other experimental data for this atom are presented where available.
