Cross sections for electron scattering from atomic and molecular iodine are calculated based on the <i>R</i>-matrix (close-coupling) method. Elastic and electronic excitation cross sections are presented for both I and I<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>. The dissociative electron attachment and vibrational excitation cross sections of the iodine molecule are obtained using the local complex potential approximation. Ionization cross sections are also computed for I<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> using the BEB model.
