Abstract

Differential elastic high-energy electron-scattering cross sections for CO2 have been measured and, with use of earlier total results, inelastic cross sections were derived. A comparison with the independent-atom model, molecular Hartree-Fock, and configuration-interaction calculations reveals the importance of the electron correlation for a first-order density property (elastic scattering) and a second-order one (inelastic scattering). Integral quantities such as the potential-energy differences ΔVee(exchange) and ΔVne+ΔVee(Coulomb) are determined. In addition, the first precise molecular structure of a molecule has been derived from only elastic data.
