Theoretical and Experimental Fully Differential Cross sections for 54 eV electron-impact ionization of oriented H2

ORAL

Abstract

Experimental fully differential cross sections are measured for 54 eV electron impact ionization of oriented H2. One final state electron is measured in the scattering plane at an angle of 50 degrees from the incident beam direction and the other final state electron is measured in a plane perpendicular to the incident beam. Both electrons have an energy of 18 eV. The experimental results will be compared with TDCC (time dependent close coupling) results and M3DW (molecular 3-body distorted wave) results. The importance of different scattering mechanisms will be discussed.
