Electron Scattering from Gaseous Ocs(¹Sigma): Comparing Computed Angular Distributions and Elastic Cross Sections with Experiments

Differential cross sections are computed for the title polar molecule using static interaction, exchange forces and correlation-polarisation effects as described in detail in the main text. The dipole effect is also reported via the dipole Born correction procedure and the final angular distributions are compared with existing experimental data. The shape and location of the prominent low-energy resonance are computed and compared with experiments. The comparison shows that the present treatment of the interaction forces and of the quantum dynamics can indeed afford good agreement between measured and computed quantities for a multielectron target as OCS.
