Differential, integral and momentum transfer cross sections for the vibrationally elastic and rotationally inelastic scattering of positrons from water at low collision energy (E ≤ 10 eV) are reported. Several models within the R-matrix method are used to compute the body-fixed T-matrices, while the scattering calculations are performed within the fixed-nuclei approximation corrected with the standard Born-closure formula. These calculations are compared with experimental results for elastic scattering, and the best model gives reasonable agreement with the most recent measurements (Zecca et al 2006 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 39 1597) but not with some earlier studies. The relative contribution of the rotationally inelastic processes is investigated and comparisons are made with the equivalent electron scattering cross sections.
