Abstract
In this work, we present a theoretical study on electron-methylidynecollisions in the low and intermediate energy range. Morespecifically, calculated elastic differential, integral andmomentum transfer cross sections as well as grand total (elastic+ inelastic) and absorption cross sections are reported in the1-500 eV energy range. A complex optical potential is used torepresent the electron-molecule interaction dynamics in thepresent calculation while the Schwinger variational iterativemethod combined with the distorted-wave approximation is usedto solve the scattering equations. Comparison between thepresent absorption cross sections with the existing experimentaland theoretical data for electron-impact ionization processes isencouraging.
