Abstract
A theoretical method to investigate cross sections of electron scattering for certain excited rovibrational states of diatomic molecules by electron impact is proposed. This method is based on the treatment of the collision as a few-body process, using quantum theory of scattering in few particles system. Comparison of the results of calculation of cross sections of different elastic and inelastic processes with available experimental data and other calculations is presented.
