Abstract

In the present chapter, we give a brief outline of the various interactions and scattering models employed in our research group to analyse the quantum dynamical attributes of low-energy positron scattering from polyatomic molecular targets. Results are also presented for selected examples of some targets and their accords with the existing experiments are analysed and discussed.
