Abstract
Formulas are derived for the scattering cross section of a high-energy electron in a static potential, correct to second order in the potential, in terms of certain integrals. The potential is that due to a screened, spherical charge distribution. The integrals are evaluated explicitly for Yukawa, exponential and Gaussian charge distributions, and are expanded in power series in and in for an arbitrary charge distribution. Numerical results are presented.
