Resonance Formation in Electron Collisions With Pyrimidine-Like Targets
- Mašin, Zdeněk
DOIAbstract
In this thesis we apply the R-matrix method to study low-energy (<15 eV) elastic and inelastic electron collisions with the diazine molecules (pyrazine, pyrimidine and pyridazine), (2 and 4) oxo-pyrimidines and the RNA nucleobase uracil. We use these molecules as models for the pyrimidinic DNA nucleobases. The main goal of this work is to study resonance formation in these targets. We test various standard scattering models (Static Exchange, Static Exchange plus Polarization, Close-Coupling) to identify those that produce the most accurate results; we also study simplified versions of these models that allow us to provide detailed insights into the resonance formation. We compare our elastic (for pyrazine and pyrimidine) and inelastic (for ...
