Abstract
Detailed investigation of the three low-energy resonances seen in electron scattering by the diazabenzene molecule pyrazine reveals that the first two are nearly pure single-channel shape resonances, but the third is, as long suspected, heavily mixed with core-excited resonances built on low-lying triplet states. Such resonant channel coupling is likely to be widespread in pi-ring molecules, including the nucleobases of DNA and RNA, where it may form a pathway for radiation damage.
