Abstract
The Molière potential is widely used in radiation damage simulation studies. It is not much used in analytical transport theory calculations because of the awkward expression for the differential cross section corresponding to the potential. We follow a two step process to obtain a useful cross section: adopting the Lindhard, Nielsen and Scharff (LNS) approximations in order to generate a simpler form of the Molière cross section and then creating a simple, easy-to-use, fit to that approximate form. Within the framework of the LNS treatment of atomic cross sections, our fit is accurate to 6%. Simple forms for the total cross section and several related quantities are presented.Keywords
