We present the effective optical potential describing the interaction between an electron and a neon atom in a dense plasma. This potential accounts not only for the screening effect but also for the quantum non-locality and electronic correlation effects, which lead to an increase in the interaction energy between the electron and the neon atom. Within this framework, differential and momentum transport cross-sections for elastic electron–neon scattering are determined. The obtained results are compared with the available experimental data and theoretical predictions, showing exceptionally good agreement.
