The Distorted-Wave Born Approach for Calculating Electron-Impact Ionization of Molecules

Figure 3

FDCS for electron-impact ionization of N2 for the orbital (a) and for sum of , and orbitals (b). The scattered electron energy was 500 eV and the scattering angle was 6 . The ejected electron energy was 74 eV. The experimental results are compared with the FBA-TCC (dashed line) and two sets of M3DW calculations. The dotted-dashed line is the M3DW using a poor wave function and the solid line is the M3DW using an improved wave function. The experimental and theoretical data are normalized to the experimental binary peak.
