Abstract
Resonantscattering models, using nonlocal decay widths, are developed for dissociative attachment of slow electrons to diatomic molecules. Cross sections are obtained for HCl and DCl in several initial rotational and vibrational states, and the dependence of the average attachment cross section upon the rotational and vibrational temperature is examined. For F2 the cross section for ground state molecules agrees well with experiment above 0.2 eV but shows no zero energy peak. The attachment cross section is higher for vibrationally excited molecules, but the enhancement is much less than that found in H2 and HCl.Keywords
