It is already more than 150 year scientists are performing experiments with electron beam and still now it is extremely relevant to perform electron-molecule collision experiments. Gas-phase low-energy electron molecule collision studies are not only important from fundamental point of view but do have several applications in real life. The recent focus is on the study of radiation induced damage to living cells and radiation induced cancer therapy. But, the natural environment of living cells is liquid – cells are always solvated in aqueous medium. The gas-phase studies performed until now is not sufficient to understand the effect of radiation on a living cell in real life. It is absolutely necessary to perform the experiments in liquid phase and that needs a complete shift in the current technology. In the talk I will discuss about the gas-phase electron-molecule collision processes and its application in real life and then the current status of the development of liquid phase experiments. |
