- Description:
- On the basis of measured generalized oscillator strenghts, electron differential and integral cross-sections have been calculated in the range 100 to 1290 eV for the two transitions X1E+ �+ A*H and X1E+ �? C1E1 in CO; for C02, ls(2crfl) �? 2TT�; for excitation of F2 71E� and for the electronic states of S02, using the recent universal formula of Msezane and Sakmar. The unmeasured differential cross-sections (DOS�s) in the angular range 0� <8 <2� are found to contribute significantly to the integral cross-sections (ICS�s) ranging from 28% to 69%. These results underscore the importance of accurate determination of the DOS�s at small scattering angles and the need for a good theoretical guide.
