Abstract
Absolute total electron scattering cross sections for from 0.5 to 50 eV have been measured with an estimated uncertainty of ±3% using a transmission time-of-flight method previously described. The results are compared to previous experimental results and to recent calculations. The positions of the resonance peaks were determined with much greater accuracy (± 15 meV) than in previous transmission measurements. The structure reported by Golden (1966) below the resonance was clearly not present, indicating that, if real, these features are not a property of the ground vibronic state. The shape resonance predicted at 11 eV by Dill and Dehmer (1977) was not seen, perhaps because it was too weakly manifested in the total cross section. A weak broad band centered at 25 eV may be interpreted as being due to a shape resonance as predicted by Dehmer, Siegel, Welch, and Dill.
