Abstract
In this work, we report elastic integral, differential, and momentum-transfer cross sections for the scattering of low-energy electrons by salicylic acid. The cross sections were calculated with the Schwinger multichannel method implemented with norm-conserving pseudopotential within the static-exchange and static-exchange plus polarization (SEP) approximations for energies up to 15 eV. In the SEP approximation, four π* resonances were found at around 0.023, 1.27, 3.60, and 6.80 eV. While the first three are shape resonances, the latter has a mixed shape and core-excited shape character. We compare our results with available measurements in the literature, and we also discuss the role of the second resonance in the production of [M-H]- and [M-H2]- species through dissociative electron attachment.
