Abstract

Distributed spherical Gaussian (DSG) correlation-polarization model potentials with higher-order terms and exact exchange effects in single-configuration Slater determinant are taken into account for low-energy vibrational excitation e-N2 scattering system. The integrodifferential coupled channel equations are solved using a combination of linear-algebraic and R-matrix-propagator algorithms. Analytic Born completion is used to calculate high-order scattering matrix elements in order to obtain convergent differential cross sections. The energy range is set to 4–15 eV which is not tested by the present theoretical method before. The overall agreement of theoretical results with the latest experiments emphasizes the importance of higher-order correlation-polarization potentials and rigorous exchange effects in vibrational excitation scattering.
