Low Energy Elastic Electron Scattering from Benzonitrile - C$_{\mathrm{6}}$H$_{\mathrm{5}}$CN

Experimental differential cross sections for electron scattering from gaseous C$_{\mathrm{6}}$H$_{\mathrm{5}}$CN are presented. The measurements were taken with a high resolution electron spectrometer and used the relative flow method with a moveable (aperture) target gas delivery source [1]. Helium gas was used as standard, with established cross sections from [2,3]. The moveable source enabled accurate determinations of background scattering [1] and the measurements were taken at incident electron energies of 1 eV to 30 eV for scattering angles of 10$^{\mathrm{o}}$ to 130$^{\mathrm{o}}$. Comparisons to existing cross sections will be made. [1] M. A. Khakoo \textit{et al}., J. Phys.B. \textbf{40}, 3601 (2007). [2] R. K. Nesbet, Phys. Rev. A \textbf{20}, 58 (1979). [3] D. F.
