Rotational excitation cross sections for e-CO/sub 2/ scattering in the energy range from 0.07 to 10.0 eV have been calculated using a coupled-channels procedure together with the adiabatic-nuclei (impulse) approximation. Results are presented for excitation from j = 0 to j' = 0, 2, and 4. Cross sections for j = 0 to j' = 2 in e-CO/sub 2/ scattering are compared with corresponding results for e-H/sub 2/ and e-N/sub 2/ collisions. The Born approximation for rotational excitation is examined for this problem and found to be unsatisfactory even at the lowest energies studied. Results for large initial rotational quantum number j are presented and discussed.
