RESUMO

We present applications of the Schwinger Multichannel Method adapted for low energy positron scattering, comparing two isoelectronic molecular systems: acetylene and nitrogen molecules. These systems awake great interest because they present different behavior for the Zeff parameter. Although with small number of electrons ( Z = 14), they present values differing by a factor of 102 on their annihilation rates. Further, for presenting a high value of Zeff , the acetylene molecule becomes an interesting target to be studied since it allows us to approach, using ab initio calculations, the annihilation dynamics necessary to explain the high experimental values of Zeff observed for many molecular systems (usually large organic molecules), which, in most cases, are computationally not feasible for our calculations. Through results of Zeff , integral cross sections, differential cross sections, eigenphases, and others, we will introduce the importance of the virtual state and of the electronic mobility to the annihilation dynamics. We confirm the formation of a virtual state for acetylene target, non-existent for nitrogen target, which will command the annihilation, causing the high values of Zeff
