Halogen loss induced by electron collisions in halouracils at low energies

Abstract

Synopsis We employed both eletronic scattering techniques and ab initio quantum dynamics to study electron-driven reactions in halouracils at low energies. Particularly, it was addressed halogen dissociation and H-loss probabilities in anionic 5-BrU and 5-IU. Besides, we also propose a model of how to include auto-ionization probabilities during the dynamics.
