Total cross sections for electron scattering by 1-propanol at impact energies in the range 40-500 eV

Absolute total cross section (TCS) measurements for electron scattering from 1-propanol molecules are reported for impact energies from 40 to 500 eV. These measurements were obtained using a new apparatus developed at Juiz de Fora Federal University—Brazil, which is based on the measurement of the attenuation of a collimated electron beam through a gas cell containing the molecules to be studied at a given pressure. Besides these experimental measurements, we have also calculated TCS using the Independent-Atom Model with Screening Corrected Additivity Rule and Interference (IAM-SCAR+I) approach with the level of agreement between them being typically found to be very good.M.C.A.L. acknowledges financial support from Brazilian Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq), Fundac¸ ´ ao de Amparo ˜ a Pesquisa do Estado ` de Minas Gerais (FAPEMIG), and FINEP, while M.J.B. thanks CNPq for his “Special Visiting Professor” award.
