摘要
We report calculations for low-energy positron-C2H2 and -N-2 scattering obtained through the Schwinger multichannel method (SMC). Integral and differential cross-sections and the annihilation parameter, Z(eff), are presented. For nitrogen, evidence of a Ramsauer-Townsend minimum and the possibility of overcorrelation in the scattering configuration space are discussed. Annihilation probability densities (APD) calculated for He and H-2 Seem to bring indirect support to a model previously proposed to explain why acetylene, unlike nitrogen, presents very high low-energy annihilation rates.
