Abstract:

The first order perturbation theory used by R. C. Stabler to compute the cross section for rotational excitation of homonuclear diatomic molecular ions by electrons is shown to be equivalent to an approximation to the method of distorted waves for which the validity criteria can be specified with more precision.
