We present results of measurements and calculations of elastic electron scattering from pyrimidine in the energy range 3-50 eV. Absolute differential and integral elastic cross sections have been measured using a crossed electron-molecule beam spectrometer and the relative flow technique. The measured cross sections are compared with results of calculations using the well-known Schwinger variational technique and an independent-atom model. Agreement between the measured differential cross sections and the results of the Schwinger calculations is good at lower energies but less satisfactory at higher energies where inelastic channels that should be open are kept closed in the calculations. © 2011 American Physical Society. ; The Support of the Australian Research Council, The International Science Linkage program of the Australian Government, the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion´ (Project FIS2009-10245), and the EU Framework Programme (COST Action MP1002) is gratefully acknowledged.

8 pags., 7 figs. -- 24th Summer School and International Symposium on the Physics of Ionized Gases ; This report will review several new experimental developments for low energy (1-50 eV) scattering of both electrons and positrons from atoms and molecules. Experiments include an apparatus for studies of scattering from unstable molecular radicals, a position- and time-sensitive time-of-flight spectrometer for studies of near threshold electronic excitation of atoms and molecules and a trap-based positron scattering experiment for measurements of low energy positron scattering from rare gas atoms. Where possible, comparisons are also made with other experimental determinations and with contemporary scattering theory. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd. ; It is a pleasure to acknowledge the support of the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence program and the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research's International Science Linkages Program.
