Abstract

The calculation of integral cross sections of electron scattering on neutral carbon in ground 2p23P and metastable 2p21D and 1S states is carried out with the B-spline R-matrix method for energy from reaction threshold to 65 eV. The close-coupling expansion includes 28 bound states of neutral carbon. The elastic scattering cross sections, the summary excitation cross sections and the corresponding total cross sections of electron scattering on neutral carbon in these states is presented. The comparison of the cross sections, calculated by us, with other theoretical data is carried out.
