A model for differential cross sections based on absorption of flux out of the elastic channel is presented. It is very easy to apply and constitutes the simplest kind of distorted wave model. This model has hitherto been used only in nuclear and high energy physics. Here it is applied to electron-rare gas atom scattering with qualitative success.
