Abstract
First Born approximation cross sections for excitation of magnetic substates from the atomic ground State are known to have little dependence on the principal quantum number n of the excited State. This is the case because in the first Born approximation the differential cross section for excitation of a magnetic substate is simply the differential cross section summed over magnetic substates times a geometrical factor that is a function. of momentum. transfer only and does not depend on the principal quantum number of the excited State.1
