Abstract
The complex Kohn variational method, which has been extensively applied to low-energy molecule scattering, is extended to treat molecular ionization by fast electrons under the assumption that the incident and scattered electrons can be described by plane waves. The formulation reduces to the computation of the continuum generalized oscillation strength, which amounts to a generalization of the molecular photoionization problem to which the Kohn method has been successfully applied. To illustrate the approach, we present fully differential cross sections for the case of water, where good experimental data is available for comparison.
