The algebraic eikonal approach to electron-molecule scattering is applied to electron scattering off HF and HCl, for which rotational-vibrational excitation cross sections were recently measured. Calculations are done with realistic interactions that include improved dipole, quadrupole, and polarization interactions. Good agreement with the data is obtained in the vibrational elastic channels.
