Abstract

We have calculated cross sections for elastic and inelastic electron scattering from pyridine in the energy range 1 eV to 1 keV. The R-matrix and IAM-SCAR methods have been used for low and higher collision energies, respectively. Agreement with available theoretical data is good. We have also examined the formation of shape resonances and compared our results with existing experimental data. We compare the results with data for electron scattering from pyrimidine. 2014 American Chemical Society.
