Abstract
Electron collision with liquid water is theoretically investigated and reported in this article. The range of projectile energy considered is 10-5000 eV, covering all major channels, viz., ionization, inelastic, elastic, and total scattering. The liquid phase electron charge density and static potential are generated and used in the calculation under a spherical complex optical potential formalism to achieve the goals. For the ionization channel, the complex scattering potential-ionization contribution method is used. The agreement with available theoretical data is satisfactory. The study on the total electron scattering from liquid water, using a common method for elastic and inelastic cross sections, is new and requires further attempts to support the reported data.
