Integral and Momentum Cross Sections for Electron Elastic and Vibrational Excitation Scattering with Nitrogen in the Energy Range 5–30eV

Integral and momentum transfer cross sections are calculated in the energy range from 5 to 30 eV and compared with other calculated and measured data. The overall agreement between our present results and various theoretical and experimental results are obtained. The present results are obtained by solving integrodifferential body-frame vibrational close-coupling equations. Distributed spherical Gaussian correlation-polarization model potentials with high-order terms and exact exchange effects in a single-configuration Slater determinant are used. The analytic Born completion method is also used to calculate high-order scattering matrix elements.
