Electron ionization cross sections for atoms and molecules are of importance for evaluation of radiation chem-ical data, for mass spectrometric studies of ion-molecule reactions and thermodynamic measurements, and for plasma and space physics. They also constitute one of the fundamental problems concerning electron impact collisions. There has been considerable work on both the experimental and theoretical aspects of electron ionization cross sections. Electron ionization cross sec-tions increase rather rapidly with energy from thresh-old, reach a flat maximum usually between 50 and 80 eV, and decrease slowly at higher energies. At high electron kinetic energy (> 1 keV) there is good agree-ment between the experimental energydependence of the cross section and simpletheory based on the Born approximation. 2 However, the experimental depen-dence of cross section on molecular structure is not sat-isfactorily predicted by theory. At lowerelectron en-ergies which are relevant to mass spectrometric and ra-diation chemical studies (70 eV) the theory is even more
