Abstract

In this paper, we present integral cross sections (ICS) for electron impact excitation of the n=2 levels in helium in the impact energy range of 23.5 eV to 35 eV. The ICS of each final state, 2³S, 2¹S, 2 ³P and 2¹P, has been determined by integration of the angular differential cross sections (DCS) over all of 0° to 180°, where those DCS were obtained from both our previous experiments and the extrapolation using the convergent close coupling calculation. The present experimental ICS for the optically allowed 2¹P transition state are also compared with those obtained from the BEf-scaling method. Very good agreement between the experimental and BEf-scaled 2¹P ICSs is generally found in the measured impact energy region.
