    Abstract

    We report absolute elastic differential, integral and momentum transfer cross sections for electron interactions with CCl 4. The incident electron energy range is 1.5-100 eV, and the scattered electron angular range for the differential measurements varies from 15°-130°. The absolute scale of the differential cross section was set using the relative flow technique with helium as the reference species. Comparison with previous total cross sections shows good agreement. Atomic-like behaviour in this scattering system is shown here for the first time, and is further investigated by comparing the CCl 4 elastic cross sections to recent results on the halomethanes and atomic chlorine at higher impact energies H.
