Keywords: Electron-atom scattering, Scattering amplitudes, Excitation, Differential cross sections, Spin polarization, Spin asymmetry, State multipoles, Statistical tensors, Atomic physics.
Programming language used: Fortran
Computer: DEC Alpha 667MHz .

Nature of physical problem:
Angle-integrated and angle-differential physical observables in elastic and inelastic electron-atom scattering, evaluated from partial-wave T-matrix elements.

Method of solution:
Density matrix and statistical tensor formalism ([1] and references).

Typical running time:
Typical calculations take a few seconds on DEC Alpha 667 MHz workstation depending on complexity of the problem.

Unusual features:
The program can be run interactively. It is possible to use an unformatted output file from the flexible asympotic FARM package [2] as an input file to the program.
