Focusing on quantum mechanical scattering theory, this monograph explores the scattering of particles by various potential fields, specifically elastic electron scattering by neutral atoms and ions. It covers a range of topics, including short-range and Coulomb potentials, effective-range theory, and variational methods. The work serves not only as a standalone study but also as an introductory resource for understanding inelastic electron scattering and ionization. The author acknowledges the supportive environment at the Center for Theoretical Studies during its composition.
