Ahrameev E.V.

The paper presents analytical expressions for the scattering cross sections of nonrelativistic electrons on nuclei. For several real nuclei (with transitions E1 and M1) it contains calculations for: cross sections of excitation of nuclei by inelastic scattering of electrons (in the Born and nonrelativistic approximations, and using Hartree-Fock-Slater method of the self-consistent field); transport cross sections of excitation of nuclei by inelastic scattering of electrons (in the Born approximation); the efficiency of different mechanisms of excitation (inelastic scattering of electrons, the inverse internal electron conversion, excitation of the thermal radiation of the plasma).
Considered the possibility of excitation of the «combustion wave»..
