Abstract

Calculated triple differential cross sections are presented for the ionization of the 3a₁ orbital of water by electron impact. The cross sections are determined for symmetric coplanar and non-coplanar geometrical arrangements. The obtained results show reasonable agreement with experimental data for both geometries.
