Electron excitation of hydrogenlike ions in the Coulomb Born approximation

Abstract
We investigate the excitation of positive ions by charged-particle impact in the Coulomb Born approximation. We obtain closed-form expressions for the 1s2s and 1s2p amplitudes and present numerical results for the corresponding excitation cross sections. We also indicate how the matrix elements may be used to calculate excitation and ionization cross sections for many-electron ions.
