Analysis of electron induced single ionisation differential cross-section of CO2 molecules in different kinematics

Theoretical investigations of electron-impact ionisation for carbon dioxide (CO2) in low to intermediate energy ranges are presented. In addition to the energy range, we have estimated triple differential cross-section (TDCS) in coplanar and perpendicular plane geometry. We have calculated the TDCS for electron impact using the modified distorted wave formalism up to the second order. Post-collision interaction effects have also been introduced to describe the collision dynamics accurately. There is a good correlation between the distorted-wave Born approximation results and the experimental results in terms of forward and backward scattering regions.
