Low energy elastic electron scattering from benzonitrile (C6H5CN)

We present experimental differential elastic scattering cross sections (DCSs) for low energy electron scattering from benzonitrile along with integral and momentum-transfer cross sections that are determined from these DCSs. The measurements of DCSs are obtained using the relative flow method with helium as the standard gas, in a crossed electron-molecular gas beam arrangement. Our measurements are made at incident electron energies in the range of 1 − 30 eV and scattering angles in the range of (10◦ -130◦ ).
