Abstract
We have computed elastic differential, momentum-transfer, excitation, ionization cross sections, collision frequencies, and scattering length for electron impact on the molecule, which are computed using the R-matrix method. The results of the static exchange, correlated one-state, and 22-state close-coupling approximation are presented. We have detected a stable anionic bound state of and two shape resonances of symmetry. The dissociative nature of these shape resonances is explored by performing scattering calculations in which the O-O bond is stretched. These resonances support dissociative attachment yielding O, in dissociation of . Born correction is applied for higher partial waves neglected in the R-matrix calculations for elastic and dipole allowed transitions.
