Abstract
A new one‐electron atom classical semistochastic model has been proposed and used for calculations of an electron (positron)‐ground state hydrogen elastic scattering in the low‐energy region. Differential cross sections are evaluated numerically for E=6.7 eV, within the classical trajectory, extended Monte Carlo method. The results for the electron impact appear reasonably good for θ≳90 °, but suffer from the forward scattering divergence. Except for the backward scattering, positron results turned out to be consistently higher than for the electron impacts. A thorough discussion of the classical approach and its perspectives in e±‐H scattering is given and further possible elaborations are proposed.Keywords
