Total electron scattering cross sections for cyclofluorobutane

Total electron scattering cross sections for c-C4F8 have been measured in the energy range between 1 and 3000eV using a compact linear-type electron transmission apparatus. Electrons scattered into a narrow forward angle were examined using some of the scattered currents and an empirical formula. The present results were compared with available theoretical and experimental data. Inelastic electron scattering cross sections were examined in the energy ranges of 1.5-7, 1.5-15, and 15-100eV. The validity of the present results was examined. The most plausible electric dipole polarizability for c-C4F8 was chosen from the available data.
