Excitation of the lowest electronic transitions in ethanol by low-energy electrons

We report absolute differential and integral cross sections for electronic excitation of ethanol, by low-energy electron impact. Cross sections for low-lying excited states were measured at incident electron energies from 9 to 20 eV and at scattering angles from 5 ◦ through 130 ◦ . Our results inclu...

Description
Summary:We report absolute differential and integral cross sections for electronic excitation of ethanol, by low-energy electron impact. Cross sections for low-lying excited states were measured at incident electron energies from 9 to 20 eV and at scattering angles from 5 ◦ through 130 ◦ . Our results include cross sections for excitation of the 1 3 A ′ ′ and 1 1 A ′ ′ states as well as for the 2 3 A ′ ′ + 1 3 A ′ and 2 1 A ′ ′ + 2 1 A ′ cross section sums. Corresponding calculations were also performed using the Schwinger multichannel method, within an 11-channel close-coupling scheme.
