Abstract

The T-matrix expansion method for electron-molecule scattering originated by Rescigno, McCurdy and McKoy1–3 is described elsewhere in this volume.4 A method for including polarization effects in the scattering potential in an ab initio nonparametric way is presented below. Applications to electron-H2 elastic scattering as well as rotational and vibrational excitation are given.
