Electron detachment for H−(D−) in collisions with Ne

Electron detachment of H in collision with Ne and Ar ions

Total-electron detachment cross sections for H colliding with multiply charged Ne and Ar ions are calculated using the two-center atomic-orbital close-coupling expansion method in the center-of-mass energy range of 4–200 keV. The calculation shows that there is no core effect, and that electron capture only plays a minor role for energies above 20 keV. At 50 keV, where electron capture is not i...

Electron collisions with furan.

The authors report integral, differential and momentum transfer cross sections for elastic scattering of low-energy electrons by C(4)H(4)O (furan) molecules. Their calculations employed the Schwinger multichannel method with pseudopotentials and were performed in the static-exchange and in the static-exchange plus polarization approximations. The authors found two shape resonances located aroun...

Electron Collisions with Biomolecules

We report on results of recent studies of collisions of low-energy electrons with nucleobases and other DNA constituents. A particular focus of these studies has been the identification and characterization of resonances that play a role in electron attachment leading to strand breaks in DNA. Comparison of the calculated resonance positions with results of electron transmission measurements is ...

Electron doubly differential cross section for 0.5-MeV H--He detachment collisions.

Low-temperature rotational relaxation of CO in self-collisions and in collisions with Ne and He.

The low-temperature rotational relaxation of CO in self-collisions and in collisions with the rare-gas atoms Ne and He has been investigated in supersonic expansions with a combination of resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy and time-of-flight techniques. For the REMPI detection of CO, a novel 2 + 1' scheme has been employed through the A(1)Pi state of CO. From the mea...
