Abstract
We have carried out relativistic distorted-wave calculations for the excitation of atomic oxygen from its ground 2p4 3P state to the excited 2p33s 3S, 3P and 3D states and to the 2p33d 3D state in the energy range from 15 to 100 eV. We compare our results for the differential cross sections with both experimental measurements and other theoretical calculations for these transitions and find our calculations agree very well with them. We have also compared our integrated cross sections for the excitation of the 2p33s 3S state for which extensive theoretical and experimental data have been reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
