N2 - We describe the development of the Dirac R-matrix with pseudo-states (DRMPS) method for
electron and photon collisions with arbitrary atoms and ions. An N-electron atom is
represented by an anti-symmetrized product of single-particle spinors comprising the usual
four-component Dirac spinors as well as paired two-component Laguerre spinors (L-spinors).
The convergent L-spinor basis forms a discretization of the electron and positron continua.
This representation has been implemented quite generally within the general relativistic
atomic structure package (GRASP) specifically GRASP0. An (N + 1)th 'scattering' electron is
represented by the exact same L-spinor basis plus the usual R-matrix box-state spinors which
are chosen so as to form a combined complete finite linearly independent orthogonal basis.
The (non-diagonal) Buttle correction is determined consistently. This representation has been
implemented quite generally within the Dirac atomic R-matrix code (DARC). Results of some
simple model problems are presented which demonstrate the correctness of the
implementation.
