Abstract

We perform theoretical studies of dissociative electron attachment (DEA) for the compounds CH(2-n)(CH(3))(n)Cl(2), n = 0, 1, 2, by combining the finite-element discrete model with the resonance R-matrix theory. An unexpectedly low DEA cross section for CH(2)Cl(2) is likely due to the relatively large resonance width for this compound that confirms experimental observations. However, there are some quantitative discrepancies with the experimental results. Since DEA cross sections are very sensitive to the resonance width, a slight adjustment of its value can significantly improve agreement between theory and experiment. Our calculation of the thermal rate coefficients show that there are some inconsistencies between beam and swarm measurements and between different swarm measurements of the rate coefficients for DEA to CH(2)Cl(2). Further experimental and theoretical studies are warranted.
