Cross sections for the dissociative electron attachment to ozone

Abstract

The cross sections for the dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to ozone have been measured. Care has been taken to collect all the high kinetic energy fragments such that the present absolute DEA cross section measurements are believed to be the most accurate measurements made across the range from 0 to 10 eV for ozone. Our results have been interpreted with the help of both existing data in the literature and quantum chemical calculations performed on the neutral and negative-ion states of ozone.
