Positron Scattering from 3-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran

POSTER

Abstract

We report results from the first measurements of total cross sections for positron scattering from the inportant bio-molecule 3-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran. In this case the energy range of our work is 0.4 -- 40.4 eV. While there are currently no theoretical data against which we can compare these results, a comparison with corresponding measurements for the geometrically similar species tetrahydrofuran$^1$ is made.\vskip 0.5cm \noindent $^1$A Zecca, C Perazzolli and M J Brunger 2005 J Phys B $\underline{\rm 38}$, 2079.
