Abstract
A completely ab initio method for calculating electron-molecule scattering cross sections is presented. The optical potential, expanded in a diagrammatic perturbation series, is obtained as a matrix over a discrete basis set and inserted in the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the T matrix. Differential and integral cross sections for e-H2 elastic scattering and rotational excitation at 0.6-10 eV show good agreement with experiment. Further applications are discussed.
