An analytic atomic independent particle model potential adjusted to experimental single‐particle energy levels is used to generate wave functions for the valence and excited states of chlorine. Using these wave functions in conjunction with the Born approximation andLScoupling, we calculate generalized oscillator strengths and integrated cross sections up to 5 keV for various electron impact excitations from the 1s22s22p63s23p5(2P3/2) ground state.
