Abstract

A semi-empirical molecular-orbital method for modelling the effective potential for electron-molecule scattering is applied to elastic scattering and rotational excitation of CO2 at 20 eV impact energy. Agreement with experiment is reasonably good. The calculated rotationally summed integral cross section is 67.8 a02.
