More than one hundred years of experimental and theoretical investigations of electron scattering in gases delivered cross-sections in a wide energy range, from few meV to keV. An analogy in optics, characterizing different materials, comes under the name of the dispersion relation, i.e., of the dependence of the refraction index on the light wavelength. The dispersion relation for electron (and positron) scattering was hypothesized in the 1970s, but without clear results. Here, we review experimental, theoretical, and semi-empirical cross-sections for N2, CO2, CH4, and CF4 in search of any hint for such a relation—unfortunately, without satisfactory conclusions.

The total cross sections for electron scattering from He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe in the energy range from 100 eV to 10 000 eV have been calculated based on the optical-model potential. Our theoretical results are compared with the available experimental data. The consistency between them is also discussed. At higher energies (over 2000 eV for He, over 5000 eV for Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe), the total cross sections of electron scattering from these atoms are scarce, so our calculations will give a reference for further experimental and theoretical studies.

The formal theory of scattering by a rigid rotator is applied to the problem of the rotational excitation and elastic scattering of homonuclear diatomic molecules by atoms. A statistical theory is employed to analyze the effects of the strong coupling which occurs between the different scattering channels. According to this theory the Massey-Mohr formula provides a good approximation to the total scattering cross-section, an upper limit of ½ holds for the ratio of inelastic to total cross-sections and the probability of a rotational transition does not depend very sensitively on the corresponding change in the rotational quantum number. Numerical results are presented for the collision of argon and nitrogen at room temperature.
