Abstract
We report results of the first ab initio, close-coupling calculations of the electron impact excitation of atomic copper in the 0.1–8.0-eV range. Integrated, inelastic cross sections are given for the low-lying and excited states, which are important to the kinetics of the copper vapor laser. The calculated cross sections exhibit a rich resonance structure due to states, which have not been previously known.
