Differential cross sections for electron/positron scattering from polyatomic molecules

Abstract We describe a new computational code which allows for the calculation of elastic and rotationally inelastic differential cross sections (DCS) for electron/positron scattering from neutral polyatomic molecule with and without permanent dipole moments. The computation can deal both with linear and nonlinear systems. In the case of polar targets a procedure which corrects for the nonconvergence of the DCS in the Body-Fixed (BF) frame is described and implemented. The corresponding state-to-state...
