Abstract
This work presents a theoretical investigation on the spin-exchange effects in the low-energy elastic electron-C{sub 2}O radical collisions. Spin-polarization differential and integral cross sections calculated in the 1-10-eV energy range are reported. Our calculation has shown that the exchange between the scattering and unpaired target electron is strongly influenced by the occurrence of shape resonances. More specifically, our calculated rotationally summed spin-polarization fractions show significant deviation from unity in the resonance region. An analysis of the contributions from individual rotational transitions is also made.
