Collisions of electrons with atomic oxygen: current status

Abstract

In 1990, two significant reviews of electron–atomic-oxygen collision processes were published. Since that time, a large volume of both experimental and theoretical research into these processes has occurred. These data are reviewed and recommendations regarding existing data sets and future research in this area are made. Attention is given to the challenges associated with handling atomic oxygen in terms of both experiment and theory. PACS Nos.: 34.80.Bm, 34.80.Dp
