The close-coupling equations are also applicable to electron-molecule collision but severe computational difficulties arise due to the large number of rotational and vibrational channels that must be retained in the expansion for the system wavefiinction. In the fixed nuclei approximation, the Bom-Oppenlieimer separation of electronic and nuclear motion pennits electronic motion and scattering amplitudes f, (R) to be detemiined at fixed intemuclear separations R. Then in the adiabatic nuclear approximation the scattering amplitude for ...

In what follows we shall consider an excitation process which is short lived on the time scale of the resulting excited state. This excitation process may involve an electron-molecule collision or absorption of a light pulse. We start with the system in the ground state (f>0. The excitation process introduces a time-dependent perturbation Tx(t) for a duration of time r. An excited nonstationary state is thereby produced which can be represented as a superposition of molecular eigenstates (see eq. 6-2)...

An electron-atom or electron-molecule collision system consists of particles that never annihilate and that interact each other only via Coulomb forces. 

Incidentally we note that resonances do exist, however, in gas-surface collisions in which, as a consequence of the infinite mass of the solid, J is always zero resonances are indeed one major source of information on the gas-surface interaction (Hoinkes 1980 Barker and Auerbach 1984). Likewise, resonances are prominent features in electron-atom or electron-molecule collisions (Schulz 1973 Domcke 1991) the extremely light mass of the electron implies that only partial waves with very low angular momentum quantum numbers contribute to the cross section.
