A simplified model of electron-hydrogen scattering is considered in which all terms involving nonzero angular momenta are neglected. Elastic scattering and excitation cross sections for the 2s and 3s states are calculated for this model with the use of close-coupling expansion with four different pseudostate bases. Pseudothreshold structure is observed and removed. It is found that, after removal of this structure, the results agree quite well with each other and with exact results for this model which were given previously by Poet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
