Absolute angle-differential cross sections for electron-impact excitation of neon atoms to the four levels with the (2p⁵3s) configuration have been determined both experimentally and theoretically for incident energies from threshold up to 19.5 eV at scattering angles of 135° and 180°. Excellent agreement between the experimental data and theoretical predictions, obtained by a Breit–Pauli...

Absolute differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections have been measured for formic acid at 135° from threshold to 5 eV. Most vibrationally inelastic cross sections have a narrow peak at threshold, followed by a broadband with a boomerang structure due to the known π* shape resonance. The cross section for the excitation of the O–H stretch vibration behaves differently, it...

Absolute angle-differential cross sections for electron-impact excitation of argon and xenon atoms to the lowest four np⁵(n+1)s levels, and the 5p⁵5d[7/2]₃ level in xenon, have been measured and calculated as a function of electron energy up to a few eV above threshold at a fixed scattering angle of 135°. For argon, very good agreement is observed...

Processes induced by the attachment of slow electrons to formic acid and its hydrogen-bonded dimer were studied. The elastic cross section and the cross section for the excitation of low quanta of discrete vibrations were found to be of a similar magnitude for both targets. A dramatic difference was found in the excitation of a vibrational quasicontinuum in the 1–2 eV range with the ejection of...

Methods to measure absolute differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections using an electron spectrometer with a magnetic angle changer are discussed. Emphasized are the need to by-pass drifts and to properly correct for the instrumental response function when angle of detection or electron energy are varied. The results are illustrated with cross sections in nitrogen, methane and...

Experimental and calculated absolute differential cross sections for the scattering of low-energy electrons from ethene are presented. Emphasis is on the excitation of the ã³B1u³(π,π*) state, but selected elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections are also given. In contrast to earlier calculations, which were nearly a factor of 2 too large,...

Absolute differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections up to v=11 were measured for CO in scattering angle ranges extending to 180° at energies between 0.2 and 5 eV (and an elastic measurement at 10 eV). The lowest angles were 0° for inelastic scattering and between 5° and 20° for elastic scattering, depending on energy. Integral cross sections were derived by integrating...

In a joint experimental and theoretical effort, we carried out a detailed study of electron impact excitation of the 4p⁵ 5s states of Kr. We present angle-differential cross sections over the entire angular range (0°–180°) for a number of energies in the near-threshold region, as well as energy scans for selected angles. The experimental results are in very satisfactory agreement with...

We present absolute experimental cross sections for elastic scattering, vibrational excitation by electron impact and for dissociative electron attachment to 1,3-butadiyne, as well as calculations of the elastic cross sections.

We report measured and calculated differential elastic cross sections for collisions of low-energy electrons with diacetylene (1,3-butadiyne). A generally satisfactory agreement between theory and experiment has been found. The calculated cross sections provide interesting insight into the underlying resonant structure.
