Experimental and Theoretical Triple-Differential Cross Sections for Tetrahydrofuran Ionized By Low-Energy 26-eV-Electron Impact

We report an experimental and theoretical study of low-energy electron-impact ionization of tetrahydrofuran, which is a molecule of biological interest. The experiments were performed using an advanced reaction microscope specially built for electron-impact ionization studies. The theoretical calculations were performed within the molecular three-body distorted-wave model. Reasonably good agreement is found between experiment and theory
