Theoretical electron-atom elastic scattering cross sections: Selected elements, 1 keV to 256 keV

Abstract Calculated differential elastic electron scattering cross sections for 24 selected elements are presented in tabular form in the energy range 1 to 256 keV at values of 2 n keV. The total elastic and momentum-transfer cross sections are tabulated also. Parameters for 12-parameter analytic fits to the differential values are given for 80 elements in a second table. The calculations were done in the relativistic static approximation with relativistic atomic wavefunctions for the heavier elements ( Z > 35).
