The momentum transfer cross section for electron-argon collisions in the range 0–4 eV has been derived from an analysis of recent measurements of DT/μ as a function of E/N at 294 K (Milloy and Crompton 1977a) and W as a function of E/N at 90 and 293 K (Robertson 1977). Modified effective range theory was used in the fitting procedure at low energies. An investigation of the range of validity of this theory indicated that the scattering length and effective range were uniquely determined ,and hence the cross section could be accurately extrapolated to zero energy. It is concluded that for ε ≤ 0.1 eV the error in !he cross section is less than � 6 % and in the range 0.4 ≤ ε (eV) ≤ 0.4 the error is less than � 8 %. In the range 0.1 < ε (eV) < 0.4 the presence of the minimum makes it difficult to determine the errors in the cross section but it is estimated that they are less than −20 %, +12 %. It is demonstrated that no other reported cross sections are compatible with the experimental results used in the present derivation.

We derive a generalized Low equation for the T-matrix appropriate for complex atom–molecule interaction. The properties of this new equation at very low energies are studied and the complex scattering length and effective range are derived.

The nonresonant part of the 7Be(p, )I)8B cross section at low energies is recalculated by means of a direct-capture potential model, using parameter values determined by fitting 7Li(n, n)7Li and 7Li(n, )I)8Li data. Standard values of the potential parameters and spectroscopic factors give values of the 7Li(n,)I) cross section that are too large. Modified values that fit the thermal-neutron capture cross section predict 7Be(p,)I) cross sections that are much less than the experimental values. Also, shell model calculations predict resonant 7Be(p,)I) cross sections that are smaller than the experimental values. It is suggested that the accepted experimental values of the 7Be(p, )I) cross section may be too large, perhaps due partly to an overlarge accepted value for the 7Li(d, p)8Li cross section, which has been used for normalization purposes. A decrease in the 7Be(p,)I) cross section would reduce the calculated detection rate of solar neutrinos and lessen the discrepancy with the measured value.

ABSTRACTThis paper reports the results from a study conducted to determine the effect of electron energy on the dose-to-amorphization of Zr3Fe at 23-30 K. Zr3Fe samples were irradiated in the HVEM at Argonne National Laboratory, at energies ranging from 200 to 900 keV. Amorphization occurred at electron energies from 900 keV down to 250 keV. Three distinct regions were observed: between 900 and 700 keV amorphization occurred at a constant low dose of ~ 4 × 1021 e cm-2; a higher plateau at 1022 was observed between 600 and 400 keV, and finally there was a sharp increase in the dose-to-amorphization below 400 keV, so that at 250 keV the necessary dose was an order of magnitude higher than that at 900 keV. In the region below 400 keV there was evidence of a dependence of the dose-to-amorphization on the orientation of the sample with respect to the electron beam. The results can be analyzed in terms of a composite displacement cross section dominated at high energies by displacements of Zr and Fe atoms, by displacements of Fe atoms at intermediate energies and of secondary displacements of lattice atoms by recoil impurities at low energies.

We have performed a relativistic treatment at low energy of electron–argon scattering which includes both polarisation and dynamic distortion effects. Our results are in excellent agreement with the experimentally derived momentum transfer cross section and scattering length, as well as with very recent measurements of the elastic differential cross section.
