| Description |
It has been demonstrated that low-energy electrons (below ionization threshold) can cause single and double strand breaks in DNA [1] at specific incident energies that reflect resonant processes. As it is not easy to identify and characterize these resonances in a big molecule like DNA, a step in the right direction would be to characterize the possible resonances in various constituent of DNA like the Nucleic acid bases [2, 3] and the phosphate group. In this talk I will speak about our scattering calculations using the UK polyatomic R-matrix code [4]. References [1] B. Boudaïfa, P. Cloutier, D. Hunting, M. A. Huels, and L.
