Abstract
The possible appearance of resonances in the partial cross sections of the inelastic collisions of positrons with lithium atoms at energies below 5 eV is investigated. It is assumed that only elastic and rearrangement channels are open, while excitation channels are closed. A coupled static formalism, in which the polarization potentials of the lithium and positronium are switched on, is employed. The basis set of Clementi and Roetti [At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 14, 177 (1974)] is used for describing the target model. Comparison between the resulting total cross sections and those obtained by other authors is presented.
