Abstract
A comprehensive study of absolute differential cross sections (DCSs) forelectron impact excitation of the bending (010) and unresolved stretching(100 + 001) vibrational quanta of water (H2O) is reported. Eightincident electron energies (E0) in the range 6-20 eV wereinvestigated, and the scattered electron angular range was10°-135°. Integral cross sections (ICSs) were derived fromthe corresponding vibrational DCSs using a molecular phase shift analysistechnique. The self-consistency of these vibrational ICSs was consideredby summing them, at each E0, with available elastic and ionization ICSto provide estimates for the H2O grand total cross section (GTS),which could then be checked against the independent GTSs of Szmytkowski(1987 Chem. Phys. Lett. 136 363) and Sueoka et al (1986 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Phys. 19 L373). Good agreement was typicallyfound.
