Low-energy E < 2 eV electron elastic collisions with Ge, Sn and Pb atoms yield stable excited Ge-, Sn- and Pb- anions. The recent Regge-pole methodology is used with Thomas-Fermi type potential incorporating the crucial core-polarization interaction to calculate elastic total and Mulholland partial cross sections. For excited Ge- and Sn- anions the extracted binding energies from the unique characteristic sharp Regge resonances manifesting stable excited states formed during the collisions agree excellently with experimental values; for Pb- the prediction requires experimental verification. The calculated differential cross sections also yield the binding energies.

We have used the convergent close-coupling method and a unitarized first-order many-body theory to calculate integral cross sections for elastic scattering and momentum transfer, for excitation of the 5d^2 ^1S, 6s6p^1P_1, 6s7p^1P_1, 6s8p^1P_1, 6s5d^1D_2, 5d^2^1D_2, 6s6d^1D_2, 6p5d^1F_3, 6s4f^1F_3, 6p5d^1D_2, 6s6p^3P_{0,1,2}, 6s5d^3D_{1,2,3}, and 6p5d^3D_2 states, for ionization and for total scattering by electron impact on the ground state of barium at incident electron energies from 1 to 1000 eV. These results and all available experimental data have been combined to produce a recommended set of integral cross sections.
Motivated by the huge need of data for non-equilibrium plasma modeling, a theoretical investigation of dissociative electron attachment to the NO molecule is performed. The calculations presented here are based on the Local-Complex-Potential approach, taking into account five NO$^-$ resonances. Three specific channels of the process are studied, including the production of excited nitrogen atoms $mathrm{N}(^2mathrm{D})$ and of its anions N$^-$. Interpretation of the existing experimental data and their comparison with our theoretical result are given. A full set of ro-vibrationally-resolved cross sections and the corresponding rate coefficients are reported. In particular, a relatively notably large cross section of N$^-$ ion formation at low energy of the incident electron and for vibrationally excited NO target is predicted. Finally, molecular rotation effects are discussed.
The critical nuclear charge Zc required for a heliumlike atom to have at least one bound state was recently determined with high accuracy from variational calculations. Analysis of the wave functions further suggested that the bound state changes smoothly into a shape resonance as Z crosses the critical value. Using variational calculations combined with the complex coordinate rotation method, we study the energy and width of the resonance for Z textless{} Zc, thus providing direct evidence of the validity of this hypothesis. The variation of the resonance width with Z is found to be in good agreement with a model derived from analysis of the 1/Z perturbation series.
The cross sections of ultra-soft x-ray bremsstrahlung in at electron scattering by Ar, Kr and Xe are theoretically calculated. The results are consistent with the absolute values of the differential cross sections measured by Gnatchenko et al [Phys. Rev. A 80, 022707 (2009)] for scattering electrons with an energy of 600 eV on these atoms.
In two recent papers (Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 116} (2016) 033201; Phys. Rev. A {bf 94} (2016) 032331), the possibility of continuously varying the degree of entanglement between an elastically scattered electron and the valence electron of an alkali target was discussed. In order to estimate how well such a scheme may work in practice, we present results for elastic electron scattering from lithium in the energy regime of 1$-$5~eV and the full range of scattering angles $0^circ - 180^circ$. The most promising regime for Bell-correlations in this particular collision system are energies between about 1.5 eV and 3.0 eV, in an angular range around $110^circ pm 10^circ$. In addition to the relative exchange asymmetry parameter, we present the differential cross section that is important when estimating the count rate and hence the feasibility of experiments using this system.
