The Harris–Nesbet variational method has been considered for the calculation of
electron collisions with He+ at low energy. Calculations have been done
for both singlet and triplet scattering. Very accurate results of phase
shift have been obtained, for the first time, for partial waves with
L
equal to up to six. The results of the present calculation are compared with those
available in the literature that have been calculated by other research groups
employing various numerical methods.
