Abstract
Using a purely electrostatic positron beam, the total cross section of positrons scattering from H_{2}O has been measured for the first time with a high angular discrimination (≃1°) against forward scattered projectiles. Results are presented in the energy range (10-300)eV. Significant deviations from previous measurements are found which are, if ascribed entirely to the angular acceptances of various experimental systems, in quantitative accord with abinitio theoretical predictions of the differential elastic scattering cross section.
