Abstract
The Born approximation was used to investigate the influence of a dense plasma on the inelastic scattering of electrons by one-electron ions. Scaled collision strengths Z2 Omega for 1s to 2s, 1s to 2p and 2s to 2p transitions in an ion of arbitrary nuclear charge Z were computed for a Debye-Huckel model of the screened Coulomb interaction. Over a wide range of screening lengths, the effect of the plasma environment is to appreciably reduce cross sections at all energies.Keywords
