Description
The R-matrix method is widely used to study a range of electron collision problems. However use scattering a negative energies has been found to be a much more effective method of characterising Rydberg states than traditional quantum chemistry techniques, which struggle reproduce high n states with conventional basis sets. The utility of the scattering method for obtain potential energy curves of many Rydberg states will be demonstrated by calculations on the nitrogen molecule.
