title: Theory of electron attachment to CO2 clusters.
abstract: A theory of electron collisions with van der Waals clusters is developed which is capable of describing the vibrational Feshbach resonances (VFRs) recently observed in electron attachment to CO2 clusters. The calculations also predict vibrational excitation (VE) of one molecular unit in a cluster environment and demonstrate a strong influence of the VFRs on the VE cross sections.
