A NEW APPROACH TO CALCULATING THE COLLISION OF AN ELECTRON WITH MOLECULES

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to study the mechanism of electron capture by a molecule with the formation of a negative ion. To solve this problem, methods of quantum chemistry are used or other model approaches are used by introducing a certain model interaction potential. The disadvantage of such methods is that for specific molecules we must introduce specific interaction potentials. In this work, we adhere to the standard Coulomb interaction and in a basis in which the kernel of the system of integral equations has a degenerate form.
