The results of electron drift and diffusion measurements in parahydrogen have been analysed to determine the cross sections for momentum transfer and for rotational and vibrational excitation. The limited number of possible excitation processes in parahydrogen and the wide separation of the thresholds for these processes make it possible to determine uniquely the J = 0 → 2 rotational cross section from threshold to 0.3 eV. In addition, the momentum transfer cross section has been determined for energies less than 2 eV and it is shown that, near threshold, a vibrational cross section compatible with the data must lie within relatively narrow limits. The problems of uniqueness and accuracy inherent in the swarm method of cross section analysis are discussed. The present results are compared with other recent theoretical and experimental determinations; the agreement with the most recent calculations of Henry and Lane is excellent.

Our earlier pseudopotential calculations on electrons colliding with argon and krypton are extended to consider the elastic electron–helium scattering system. In this paper, we present detailed results for phase shifts, differential, total, and momentum-transfer cross sections for this system for incident electron energies in the range from 0 to 20 eV. These agree very well with existing experimental data and with other theoretical calculations.

R-matrix and SCOP methods are used at low and high energies respectively to find e-GeF4 TCS. Electronic and rotational excitation, momentum transfer and elastic differential cross sections are also calculated. A shape resonance is observed at 5.7 eV.

The differential cross sections for the production of definite lambda hypernuclear states are calculated for the reaction n(K−, π−)Λ° on nuclear targets of helium, carbon, and oxygen at incident momenta from 500 to 800 MeV/c. A direct interaction model is used, employing the single scattering, impulse approximation. It is shown that these predictions are very sensitive to the three-momentum transfer and to the wave function of the bound lambda in the hypernucleus. Possible experimental consequences are discussed concerning the observation of hypernucleus production by studying the missing mass spectrum of the emitted pion.
