Description:
Results of a calculation of the lowest (1 S) resonance below the first excitation threshold in electron-hydrogen scattering. This calculation is based on a precision Hylleraas calculation of the resonant wave function, combined with various reasonable physically motivated approximations for the nonresonant continuum. These approximations are basically the exchange- and polarized-orbital approximations. The values obtained, together with previous results obtained for the two higher (3 P and 1 D) resonances, are compared with the previous most accurate calculations, and some differences are noted.
