Rotational Excitation of H2O by Cold Electron Boltzmann equation analysis of electron molecule collision cross sections in water vapor and ammonia Electron-impact rotational excitation of water PDF file PRL 97, 123202 (2006) PDF file J. Appl. Phys. 80, 6619 (1996); doi: 10.1063/1.363 785 PDF file Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 347, 323 333 (2004) R. Curık, J. P. Ziesel, N. C. Jones, T. A. Field, and D. Field M. Yousfi and M. D. Benabdes sadok Alexandre Faure,1 Jimena D. Gorfinkiel Experimental data are presented for the scattering of electrons by H2O between 17 and 250 mev impact energy. These results are used in conjunction with a generally applicable method, based on a quantum defect theory approach to electron-polar molecule collisions, to derive the first set of data for state-to-state rotationally inelastic scattering cross sections based on experimental values. Sets of electron-molecule collision cross sections for H2O and NH3 have been determined from a classical technique of electron swarm parameter unfolding. Rotational excitation of H2O, HDO and D2O by thermal rotationally inelastic scattering limited low-energy study, results consistent with Faure et al data. Rotational and vibrational excitation, Ionization and attachment cross sections, Elastic momentum transfer and total cross section Rather crude fit to Born (presumably Delta J =+/- 1) data Rotational, elastic Faure et al data, uses full asymmetric top selection rules, electron impact is studied using the molecular R-matrix method. considers DJ up to 4, HDO 2 and and D Jonathan 2 O.

Elastic and rotational excitation crosssections for electronwater collisions in the lowand intermediateenergy ranges PDF file Eur. Phys. J. D 33, 193 199 (2005) L.E. Machado, L.M. Brescansi n, I. Iga, and M.-T. calculated elastic differential, integral and momentum transfer cross-sections as well as rotational excitation cross- Goes to high energy (200 ev) sections in the (2 500)-eV range Reproduces Faure et al at low energy (I think) Lee Strongly peaked at about 15 ev, physical?

Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 45 (2012) 201001 (6pp) L Hargreaves, K Ralphs, G Serna, M A Khakoo, CWinstead and V McKoy measured and calculated differential cross-sections for inelastic scattering of low-energy electrons by water leading to excitation of the dissociative (1b1 4a1) 1,3B1 states. The measurements were taken using conventional energy-loss spectroscopy at incident energies of 9, 10, 12, 15, and 20 ev for scattering angles from 10 to 130. The calculations were carried out using the Schwinger multichannel method, with a Borndipole correction applied in the singlet excitation channel. Integral excitation cross sections for the a 3B1 and A 1B1 states are also derived from the differential cross section results. inelastic Exp and theory scatterin g; excitation Single electron PDF file International A.

Total cross sections: this is really an experimental issue My recommendation: follow recommendations of Nigel and Gustavo! Other comments: I sent round a recent electron impact electronic excitation paper (expt and theory) I received from Morty Khakoo. The theoretical work by Haxton, Rescigno, McCurdy et al on DEA is state-of-the art and should be seriously considered for inclusion
