Physics Letters A, 356(2), 138-145.0375-96011873-2429https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physleta.2006.04.037https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0375960106006074http://hdl.handle.net/11452/22866In this Letter, an expression is presented to calculate elastic scattering cross sections for incident electrons as a function of both energy and atomic number in the energy range between 1 keV and 1 MeV for materials with effective atomic number between 3 and 18. The expression we present has a rather simple analytical form which gives accurate results that are in very good agreement with the results calculated by a relativistic partial-wave expansion method. Hence, this equation can be employed accurately and efficiently in a continuous manner, without the need to go through rather large look-up tables, thus making the whole process quick, efficient and removing possible computational errors that may arise from the efforts of interpolation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPhysicsTable lookupCF4PositronsRutherford backscattering spectroscopyAtomsPartial wave expansionIncident electronsElectron elastic scattering cross sectionsEffective atomic numberComputational errorAnalytical formsAnalytical expressionsElastic scatteringArticle0002394733000102-s2.0-337452395821381453562Physics, multidisciplinaryStopping Power; Proportional Counters; Proton Impact
