Nature of problem: This program performs calculations of the form factors and modified form factors for the elastic scattering of gamma rays by the electrons of a complete subshell of an atom using the wave functions, the atomic potential and the energy eigenvalues calculated by the self-consistent field program of Liberman et al.
Solution method: The form factor is evaluated by a numerical integration.
Restrictions: The DHFS wave functions of the electronic subshells, the electrostatic potential and the binding energies as calculated by the program of Liberman et al. or any other code producing radial wave functions on a logarithmic mesh are needed as input data.
Unusual features: The integrand contains the oscillatory function sin(kr) as a factor which, at large values of k, may cause errors due to the cancellation of terms. Using cubic spline interpolation of the remaining factors of the integrand, this type of error is virtually eliminated, resulting in high numerical accuracy of the integrals.
Running time: A few seconds.
