Abstract: Transport cross sections for the electron-ion and electron-electron scattering in (dense) cesium plasmas is determined with the partial wave method. The scattering phase shifts δl(k) are calculated numerically by means of the usual Numerov method and the advantageous amplitude — phase method for energies E = 10-4··· 5 ryd and for Debye screening lengths RD = (10···103)a0. Besides the usual Debye potential, also a Thomas-Fermi potential is applied for the cesium electron-ion interaction. The resulting transport cross sections are compared with the Born and quasi-classical approximations. Furthermore, the electrical conductivity of fully ionized cesium plasmas is determined and compared with respective Spitzer results.
