Multidimensional vibrational dynamics of e^- CO_2 collisions within the nonlocal approach and its comparison with new experimental results

Abstract

We present our calculation of vibrational dynamics of e^- + CO_2 collisions within the nonlocal model that includes all vibrational modes, three electronic states of CO_2^- and coupling to electron s and p partial waves. We discuss our preliminary results, specifically the two-dimensional electron energy-loss spectrum.
