Low Energy Elastic Electron Scattering from Molecular Targets

POSTER

Abstract

An overview of recent activity between Cal State and Juiz de Fora (Expt) and CalTech and Campinas and U. F. Parana (Theory) regarding elastic electron scattering from Methanol, Ethanol, Butanol and Propanol and Water, Molecular Hydrogen and Molecular Nitrogen will be presented. The experimental data (using an aperture source of gas) were taken at energies of 1eV up to 100eV and the theory is the Multichannel Schwinger with Polarization effects included. In most cases agreement between theory and experiment is very good, considering these are large calculations.
