Abstract

Configuration-interaction calculations of the differential high-energy electron-scattering cross sections of C $O_{2}$ have been performed in the first Born approximation leading to encouraging results for the total as well as the elastic and inelastic scattering, separately. A study of the potential-energy differences accessible from the cross-section curves by numerical integration points to a serious problem connected with the experimentally limited range of integration.
