Summary : Elastic, excitation and positronium formation processes
in positron-helium scattering have been investigated
using the close-coupling approximation with realistic wave functions
employing the following states : He(1s1s), He(1s2s), He(1s2p),
He(1s3s), He(1s3p), Ps(1s), Ps(2s) and Ps(2p). Results are compared
with other theoretical and experimental studies. The present
cross sections are in good agreement with experimental results.
