Analysis of electron induced single ionisation differential cross-section of CO₂ molecules in different kinematics

Abstract

Theoretical investigations of electron-impact ionisation for carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in low to intermediate
energy ranges are presented. In addition to the energy range, we have estimated TDCS
in coplanar and perpendicular plane geometry. We have calculated the TDCS for electron impact
using the modified distorted wave formalism up to the second order. Post-collision interaction (PCI)
effects have also been introduced to describe the collision dynamics accurately.
There is a good correlation between the DWBA results and the experimental results in terms of
forward and backward scattering regions.
