Abstract

The calculation of triple-differential cross sections for the electron-impact ionization of 10a and 2a orbitals of the formic acid (HCOOH) molecule has been carried out by the multicenter distorted-wave method. The coplanar asymmetric kinematics is considered at incident energies of 100 and 250eV, where previous experiments and theories are available for comparison. The present calculations reproduce the experimental measurements satisfactorily and the results suggest that the nuclear distribution has important contributions on the cross sections at large momentum transfers.
