Low Energy Electron Impact Excitation of Molecular Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide

We present measurements of differential cross-sections for inelastic scattering of low energy electrons from molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide for incident energies of 6 eV to 25 eV and scattering angles of 20 to 130 degrees using time-of-flight and conventional electron spectrometers. Comparisons with experimental and theoretical results are made.
