Abstract
The absolute magnitudes and phases of the optical model wavefunctions for 20 eV and 400 eV electron elastic scattering on argon are plotted in order to show how the waves are distorted by the potential. The physical understanding so obtained enables an analytic eikonal approximation for the wavefunction to be developed and verified for use in the calculation of non-elastic reactions. This approximation has already proved valid for (e,2e) reactions at 400 eV on argon.Keywords
