Improved calculation of the cross section for excitation of the asymmetric stretch of CO2 by electron impact

Abstract
Our previous calculations for excitation of the 001 state of CO2 by electron impact at 10 eV are corrected for breakdown of the vibrational sudden approximation. This reduces the calculated differential cross sections at scattering angles of 1° and 3° by 41% and 6%, respectively, and the calculated integral cross section by 14%.
