Abstract

The current state of the theory and its application to low-energy electron-molecule collisions is reviewed. The emphasis is on elastic scattering and vibrational and rotational excitation of small diatomic and polyatomic molecules. New and traditional theoretical approaches are described, and the results of calculations are compared with existing experimental measurements.
