Absolute elastic cross-sections for low-energy electron scattering from tetrahydrofuran
TLDR
In this paper, the absolute cross-sections were determined from cross-beam measurements using the relative flow technique and cover the angular range between 10° and 130°, and integral and momentum transfer crosssections were derived from these results.Abstract:
We present results for elastic electron collision cross-sections with tetrahydrofuran (C4H8O) in the energy range of 6.5–50 eV. The absolute cross-sections are determined from crossed beam measurements using the relative flow technique and cover the angular range between 10° and 130°. Integral and momentum transfer cross-sections have also been derived from these results. The data, where possible, are compared to recent experimental results and theoretical calculations.read more

Electron scattering and transport in biofuels, biomolecules and biomass fragments
TL;DR: In this article, a selection of experimental and theoretical cross section results for electron scattering from a range of biofuels (methanol, ethanol), biomolecules (water, tetrahydrofuran, pyrimidine, tetrahedrofurfuryl alcohol and para-benzoquinone) and molecular fragments that are formed from the action of atmospheric pressure plasmas on biomass (phenol, furfural).

Resonant Formation of DNA Strand Breaks by Low-Energy (3 to 20 eV) Electrons
TL;DR: It is shown that reactions of such electrons, even at energies well below ionization thresholds, induce substantial yields of single- and double-strand breaks in DNA, which are caused by rapid decays of transient molecular resonances localized on the DNA's basic components.

DNA strand breaks induced by 0-4 eV electrons: the role of shape resonances.
TL;DR: Collisions of 0-4 eV electrons with thin DNA films are shown to produce single strand breaks, which support aspects of a theoretical study by Barrios et al. indicating that such a mechanism could produce strand breaks in DNA.

Monte Carlo simulation of fast electron and proton tracks in liquid water -- I. physical and physicochemical aspects
TL;DR: Frongillo et al. as mentioned in this paper used Monte Carlo simulation techniques to model the sequence of events that are generated by the interaction of ionising radiations with pure liquid water, including the energy depositions that occur through the ionisation and the excitation of water molecules, and the relaxation pathways and the ultrafast reactions of the subexcitation electrons, of the transient water anions and cations, and of the excited water molecules.
