Abstract
The Born total cross section is calculated for the inelastic scattering of electrons by hydrogen atoms undergoing the transitions: 10s11p and 10,9 → 11,10. By means of interpolation and extrapolation the cutoff momentum Kca0 is estimated for all transitions of the type Δn=+1, +2, Δl=+1, for n=1 through 10. These are used to construct tables which provide a simple estimate of the Bethe total cross section.
