Abstract

A new computer program has been developed which allows us to use the R-matrix method to study electron scattering by polyatomic molecules. Our first application is to scattering by N₂O in its linear, equilibrium geometry for energies up to 10 eV. We confirm the earlier assignment of ²Π symmetry to the resonance near 2 eV but we are unable to locate any resonance having ²Σ symmetry in this energy range. We present integral and differential cross sections which are generally in excellent agreement with experiment.
