Absolute differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections have been measured for CH₄ at 90° and from 0.1 to 1.5 eV, with the resolution of all four vibrational modes. Threshold peaks were observed in the excitation of the ν1, ν3 and ν4 modes, but not in the ν2 mode. These results are in good agreement with the recent calculation of Nishimura and Gianturco (2002 J. Phys. B:...

The electron impact cross section for the transition between the ²Π₁͵₂ and ²Π₁͵₃ spin-orbit components of the ground electronic term of nitric oxide, separated by 15 meV, has been measured as a function of electron energy at a scattering angle of Θ= 135°. It is dominated by the ³Σ⁻ and the ¹Δ resonances. Its magnitude is very large, at peak about equal to that of the elastic...

Absolute differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections have been measured for NO at 135° with resolution of the ²Π1/2 and ²Π3/2 spin-orbit components of the ground electronic term. The electronic fine structure excitation is dominated by the ³Σ⁻ and the ¹Δ resonances of NO⁻, the nonresonant contribution is very small. The cross section is very large, it has about the...

Kinetic energy spectra of O⁻ from dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to NO were measured at 7.6, 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 eV electron energy using a spectrometer with hemispherical energy selectors for both the incident electrons and the resulting ions. The measurements were performed at 10°, 30°, 90° and 135°. The capacity of the spectrometer to detect both slow and fast ions was verified and...

Improvement of resolution of a gas phase hemispherical electron spectrometer (to 7 meV FWHM) permitted separate measurements of the excitation of each member of the well known Fermi dyad in CO₂ by impact of slow electrons. Absolute differential cross sections at a scattering angle of 135° were measured as a function of electron energy. The excitation was found to be highly selective both via...

Absolute differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections have been measured for N₂ in the scattering angle ranges starting between 0° and 20° and extending to 180°, at energies between 0.8 and 5 eV. The results agree with many previous measurements, in particular for angles around 90°, but discrepancies were found in some cases for angles close to 0° and 180°. Integral and...

Absolute differential cross sections were measured at 135° for the elastic and the vibrationally inelastic electron scattering from threshold to 12 eV, with emphasis on the threshold region. In addition, relative dissociative electron attachment spectra were measured from 0.1 to 3.5 eV. Structures of vibrational origin were observed at energies below 1 eV, well below the ²Π shape resonance, in...

Elastic, vibrationally inelastic and superelastic cross sections were measured for electron impact on CS₂ at 135°, with emphasis on the threshold region. The elastic cross section rises dramatically at low energies. The cross sections for the excitation of all three fundamental vibrations (010), (100) and (001) have very strong threshold peaks, more than ten times higher than those observed...

Absolute angle-differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections for electron collisions with tetrahydrofuran were measured in the energy range 0.1–20 eV, extending existing measurements to lower energies. The elastic cross sections were measured as a function of scattering angle from 10° to 180° at energies of 2 eV, 6 eV, 10 eV and 20 eV, and as a function of electron energy at...

Absolute angle-differential cross sections for excitation of neon atoms to the four 2p⁵3s and to selected 2p⁵3p levels have been determined as a function of electron energy up to 3.5 eV above threshold at the scattering angles of 0°, 45°, 90°, 135° and 180°. In addition, the cross sections were recorded as function of scattering angle from 0° to 180° at 18 eV for the 2p⁵3s levels and...
