Elastic Scattering and Vibrational Excitation of Tetrahydrofuran by Low Energy Electrons

ORAL

Abstract

We report experimental and theoretical (Schwinger Multi-Channel method with polarization effects) differential cross-sections (DCS) for low energy elastic electron scattering from tetrahydrofuran. The data are for incident energies from 0.75 to 30eV and the experimental scattering angles range from 10$^{\circ}$ to 130$^{\circ}$. Agreement between theory and experiment is very good across the range of this data. Comparisons with previous experiments is also very good in general. We will also report DCSs for vibrational excitation of this target for energies up to 15eV and similar scattering angles.
