Wereport cross sections for elastic scattering of low-energy electrons byfullerene, C₆₀, calculated within the static-exchange approximation. The calculations arecarried out via the Schwinger multichannel (SMC) method, equivalent inthis case to the standard Schwinger variational principle. Combining thehigh parallel efficiency of the SMC method with a quadraturespecially adapted to the high symmetry of C₆₀ facilitates themost demanding step of the calculation and so permits theuse of a large basis set. We analyze the structureof the cross section with reference to a simple spherical-shellmodel, and we compare our results to prior measurements andcalculations.
