摘要: Cross-sections for electronic excitation and de-excitation among the ground state and lowest-lying seven electronic excited states of carbon monoxide (CO) by low-energy electron impact are computed using the $R$-matrix method. The excitation cross-sections from the ground state to the electronic states ${\rm a}^{3}\Pi $, ${\rm a}^{\prime 3}\Sigma^{+}$ and ${\rm A}^{1}\Pi $ agree with previous experimental and theoretical results. In addition, the cross-sections for the ${\rm I}^{1}\Sigma^{-}$ and ${\rm D}^{1}\Delta $ states of CO, which will cascade to CO ${\rm a}^{\prime 3}\Sigma^{+}$ and ${\rm A}^{1}\Pi $ states, are calculated. Furthermore, in contrast to the typical increase in electronic excitation cross-sections with collision energy, the de-excitation cross-sections show a negative trend with increasing energy.
