Abstract

Electron-induced ionization of the commonly used surrogate of the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone, namely, the tetrahydrofuran molecule, is here theoretically described within the 1^st Born approximation by means of quantum-mechanical approach. Comparisons between theory and recent experiments are reported in terms of doubly and singly differential cross sections.

Doubly, singly differential and total ionization cross sections of rare gas atoms

Journal Article Chang, Dah-Wei ; Altick, P L - Bulletin of the American Physical Society

A variant of the Born Approximation is used to calculate doubly, singly differential and total ionization cross sections for the (e,2e) interactions between an electron and the rare gas atoms, neon, argon, and krypton. A range of input energies from 100 to 1000 eV is reported. The calculation is done for the ionization of the valence electron. This work is a continuation of a previous study of the alkali atoms, and the purpose, as it was there, is to elucidate basic features. Comparison to experiment is made where possible.
Quantum-mechanical predictions of electron-induced ionization cross sections of DNA components

Journal Article Champion, Christophe - Journal of Chemical Physics

Ionization of biomolecules remains still today rarely investigated on both the experimental and the theoretical sides. In this context, the present work appears as one of the first quantum mechanical approaches providing a multi-differential description of the electron-induced ionization process of the main DNA components for impact energies ranging from the target ionization threshold up to about 10 keV. The cross section calculations are here performed within the 1st Born approximation framework in which the ejected electron is described by a Coulomb wave whereas the incident and the scattered electrons are both described by a plane wave.

Ionization cross sections for proton - helium collisons doubly differential in projectile scattering angle and electron energy

Journal Article Gaus, A ; Vajnai, T ; Htwe, W - Bulletin of the American Physical Society

We have measured angular distributions of proton projectiles suffering specific energy loss in collisions with helium target atoms. From this data, we obtained cross sections for single ionization doubly differential in projectile scattering angle and ionized electron energy. Angular distributions were taken at an incident energy of 100 keV and energy loss values ranging from 35 to 150 eV. Preliminary results are also shown for 175 keV incident energy. This data will be discussed in context with structures in singly differential cross sections recently observed experimentally, and found in theoretical calculations.
Absolute doubly differential single-ionization cross sections in {ital p}+He collisions

Journal Article Schulz, M ; Vajnai, T ; Gaus, A D ; ... - Physical Review A

We have measured and calculated doubly differential single-ionization cross sections for 50{endash}150-keV {ital p}+He collisions as a function of the projectile energy loss and scattering angle. The measured cross sections were put on an absolute scale by normalizing the integrated cross sections to known total cross sections. Clear effects of the postcollision interaction (PCI) were observed in the scattered projectile spectra. Our singly differential cross sections as a function of projectile energy loss do not agree with corresponding cross sections obtained from electron spectroscopy. These discrepancies are attributed to the PCI. Our calculations including the PCI reproduce the shape ofmore »« less

Absolute doubly differential cross sections for the neon K -shell ionization by electron impact

Journal Article Sandner, W ; Theodosiou, C E - Physical Review, A; (USA)

We have measured doubly differential {ital K}-shell ionization cross sections in neon by electron impact. Incident energies ranged from 2 to 7 keV and detection angles varied between 20{degree} and 130{degree}. The coincidence technique with Auger electrons has been employed to identify {ital K}-shell ionization events; the data were brought to an absolute scale by use of previously measured total {ital K}-shell ionization cross sections. The results are compared with calculations using the first-order Born and Born-Ochkur approximations. The agreement between theory and experiment is satisfactory if either the energy or the detection angle of the secondary electron is small.more »« less
