Abstract

Experimental and theoretical differential cross sections (DCS) for the electron-impact excitation of molecular hydrogen to the B ^1Σ^+_u, c ^3∏_u, a ^3Σ^+_g, C ^1∏_u, and the E(F) ^1Σ^+_g states are presented at incident energies near to threshold. The experimental DCSs were taken at incident energies of 14, 15, 16 and 17.5 eV and for scattering angles from 10° to 130°. The theoretical DCSs are from the convergent close-coupling method which has recently successfully modeled differential electron scattering from H_2 when compared with available experiment at energies of 17.5 eV and above.
