Abstract
In this Lecture we want to consider e-- diatom collisions, in the low energy regime, e.g. essentially vibrorotational excitation processes, taking place in the ground electronic state of the diatom. As pointed out in recent reviews on the subject1-3, such a problem is of remarkable theoretical and technological relevance. Here we shall essentially be concerned with the theoretical aspects of such processes and, in particular, we shall mostly concentrate on a consideration of their “ab initio” treatment, along the lines explored in our research group, during the last few years.
