In this work, we have studied the electron emission from one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules namely, fluorene (C13H10), upon 3.5 MeV/u Si8+ ion impact. The experimentally measured absolute double differential cross sections (DDCS) are compared with the continuum distorted wave-eikonal initial state (CDW-EIS) model and the first Born approximation including correct boundary conditions (CB1). The measurements are carried out in the ejected e⁻-energy range of 1 eV–400 eV and in the angular range of 20°–160°. We have obtained the single differential and the total cross sections (TCSs) of e⁻-emission as well. The CB1 calculation largely underestimates the data. The CDW-EIS model, which is applied for the PAH molecule for the first time, provides an overall better agreement with the double differential, single differential and TCS data. The DDCS data for fluorene has also been compared with that for CH4 molecule, at a few angles. The forward–backward angular asymmetry shows a relatively flatter distribution compared to the theoretical predictions. The contribution due to the giant plasmon resonance could not be clearly observed except a mild indication in the asymmetry parameter. The angular distribution of the carbon KLL Auger electron cross section shows certain variations. The study of the KLL hyper-satellite component indicates the double K-ionization cross section is about 8.6% of the single K-ionization one.
