Glauber cross sections for elastic scattering of electrons by metastable (2S1,2S3) helium atoms

Abstract
The recently proposed analytic methods by Thomas and Chan, which reduce the Glauber amplitude for charged-particle-neutral-atom collisions to a one-dimensional integral representation involving the modified Lommel function, are used to evaluate the cross sections for the elastic scattering of electrons by metastable (2S1, 2S3) helium atoms. The results are compared with some other theoretical calculations.
