ABSTRACT
Electron attachment cross section at low energy (<0.1 eV) is not significant (Lunt et al., 1999).
The product ion is Br –. Thermal attachment rate constant for C6H5Br is found to be 6.5 × 10−18 m3/s (Shimamori et al., 1993), which is lower than that determined by Christophorou et al. (1966) 2.3 × 10−16 m3/s. Figure 119.2 shows the attachment rate constant and Figure 119.3 shows the attachment cross section determined by unfolding procedure (Shimamori et al., 1995). For comparison, the s-wave maximum cross section has also been shown. The very small magnitude of the attachment cross section shows that attachment is not a significant process at zero energy.
