Fully Differential Cross Sections for Electron Impact Ionization of Formic Acid

POSTER

Abstract

Our recent study using the molecular three-body distorted-wave (M3DW) approximation method yielded good agreement with experimental measurements for fully differential cross sections (FDCS) for the ionization of both H2 and N2 by electron impact .We will present M3DW FDCS calculations for electron impact ionization of formic acid for different energies in the coplanar geometry. Theoretical results will be compared with recent unpublished measurements for formic acid from the University of Adelaide in Australia.
