Abstract
The strong-potential Born approximation has been formulated to include effects of elastic scattering in initial and final states. We use the standard distorted-wave theory and the eikonal approximation to derive closed-form expressions for scattering wave functions. Our results show that lowest-order theories must account for off-energy-shell electron propagation in the strong potential as well as for elastic scattering in initial and final states. Capture from inner shells and radiative electron capture are computed to illustrate the theory.Keywords
