Studies of Low-Energy Electron-Molecule Collisions (Physics)

建议继续对低能电子-分子碰撞截面进行联合理论和实验研究。这些横截面在我们对基本和技术上重要的过程的理解和建模中扮演着重要的角色。这项工作的具体目标包括：(1)一氧化碳、氧气和氮气中电子跃迁的激发截面，(2)二氧化碳和水的电子碰撞激发的理论研究，(3)水和二氧化碳的振动激发的理论研究，以及(4)电子的弹性散射截面。

It is proposed to continue joint theoretical and experimental studies of the cross sections for low energy electron-molecule collisions. Such cross sections play an important role in our understanding and modeling of both fundamental and technologically significant processes. Specific objectives of this effort include: (1) cross sections for excitation of electronic transitions in carbon monoxide, oxygen and nitrogen, (2) theoretical studies of electron impact excitation of carbon dioxide and water, (3) theoretical studies of vibrational excitation of water and carbon dioxide, and (4) cross sections for elastic scattering of electrons.
