Description
Summary:A novel scattering formalism, the multi-configuration Dirac–Fock partial wave analysis (MCDF-PWA), is presented in this study. This approach extends the conventional Dirac partial wave analysis by incorporating multiple atomic configurations of the target scatterer. The newly formulated methodology is employed to compute the cross-sections in elastic <i>e</i>-atom scattering. The analysis is performed for a few atomic targets like Mg, Ca, and Ba.
