Low energy elastic scattering and vibrational excitation of THF

POSTER

Abstract

Tetrahydrofuran is a reasonable model for the deoxy-ribose part of the DNA backbone and it has attracted much recent attention in the context of electron-induced radiation damage. In this paper we extend recent measurements of absolute elastic electron scattering cross sections to energies below the shape resonance (6.5 eV) and also provide measurements of vibrational excitation for energies below 10 eV.
