Elastic scattering of electrons from water molecule

This paper uses the momentum--space optical potential method to calculate the e--H₂O scattering elastic cross sections at the energy range from 6 eV to 50 eV, and the differential cross sections in the angle from 0° to 180° at 40 eV and 50 eV. The polarisation is taken into account via an emphab initio equivalent-local potential. The cross sections are compared with experimental measurements and other theoretical calculations.
