We investigate the scattering of cold, neutral atoms from a charged wire.
For an infinitely thin, absorbing wire the 
interaction leads to
quantum steps in the absorption cross section and diffraction structure in
the differential scattering cross-section. We discuss the case of a finite-size
wire and give parameters for a possible experimental realisation.
