Grid size convergence study of the finite-element method applied to electron, positron-molecule scattering

Description

The convergence of the fifth order Hermite polynomial, Finite Element method is studied for electron and positron scattering from N2 and C2H2 in the static approximation in spherical coordinates. Results are compared with a single-center method employing spherical harmonic expansions in order to compare grid size requirements to number of partial waves in the single-center method. Results will be presented at the level of phase shifts, integrated and differential cross sections
