Scaling of plane-wave born cross sections for positron-impact excitations of H$₂$

Abstract

We report an application of the scaling method to plane-wave Born cross sections (Y.K. Kim, Phys. Rev. A 64 (2001) 032713) using positron-impact excitation of molecules. Cross sections are obtained for positron-H$_2$ ($X^1 \Sigma_{g}^{+}$ \raisebox{-.3ex}[0cm][0cm]{-}$> B^1 \Sigma_u^+$, $ C^1 \Pi_u $) and the results are found to be in reasonable agreement with results experimental.
