Abstract
Collisions of intermediate to high energy electrons are considered with S-atoms as well as H2S, OCS and SO2 molecules as targets. We employ e- atom total cross sections calculated in the complex optical potential, to calculate e--molecule total cross sections in a simple and a modified Additivity Rule. Our total (elastic + inelastic) cross sections above 50 eV, fare reasonably well as compared to various experimental and theoretical data. The calculated inelastic cross sections serve as the upper limit of total ionization cross sections. Results are presented graphically from about 10 to 5000 eV.
