Abstract
Vibrational excitation in electron collisions with polyatomic molecules is reviewed. Theoretical treatments based on the fixed-nuclear-orientation approximation are summarized. Results of the theoretical studies of H O, H S and CH are presented as an example and compared with experimental data. A calculation in the Born approximation with a long-range electrostatic interaction is also shown. In particular, the usefulness of the Born approximation with a dipole interaction is examined in detail. Finally possible further improvement of the theory is discussed.
