Electron Impact Excitation of the lowest-lying A$^{1}$B$_{1}$ Electronic state of Water

POSTER

Abstract

We report differential and integral cross sections for excitation of the A$^{1}$B$_{1 }$electronic state of water. The energy range of these measurements is 15--50eV and, where possible, comparison is made to the results of available theory. We additionally report generalised oscillator strengths (at energies 30, 100 and 200eV) and a value of the optical oscillator strength (OOS) for this state. The present OOS is also compared to the results of earlier studies.
