Abstract

A method proposed by Das (1978) has been employed to calculate the elastic differential cross section and the total collisional cross section for the electrons scattered by the hydrogen molecule. The total collisional cross sections and the real part of the forward elastic scattering amplitudes are also obtained for the scattering of electrons by H and He atoms. The theoretical results are compared with the available experimental and other accurate theoretical data. The authors have found that the present results for the differential cross section are in reasonable agreement only at the intermediate angles.
