Relativistic Energy Approach and Many-Body Perturbation Theory to Computing Electron-Collision Cross-Sections of Complex Multielectron Ions

Abstract

An advanced relativistic energy approach combined with a relativistic many-body perturbation theory with ab initio zeroth approximation is used to calculate the electron-collision excitation cross-sections for complex multielectron systems. The relativistic many-body perturbation theory is used alongside the gauge-invariant scheme to generate an optimal Dirac-Kohn-Sham- Debye-Hückel one-electron representation. The results of relativistic calculation (taking into account the exchange and correlation corrections) of the electron collision cross-sections of excitation for the neon-like ion of the krypton are presented and compared with alternative results calculation on the basis of the R-matrix method in the Breit-Pauli approximation, in the relativistic distorted wave approximation and R- matrix method in combination with Dirac-Fock approximation
