Abstract
Recent experimental results of Milne-Brownlie et al. on the ionization of the water molecule by low-energy electron (250 eV) have been compared to theoretical predictions performed in the distorted-wave first Born model [Phys. Rev. A 69, 032701 (2004)]. It was found that this theory was unable to predict the very large recoil scattering observed experimentally. In this work, more sophisticated theoretical models are investigated in order to better understand the water ionization process at the multidifferential level and to reproduce the experimental observations.
