Absolute electronic excitation cross sections for low-energy electron (5–12eV) scattering from condensed thymine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The absolute cross sections for electronic excitations of thymine by electron impact between 5 and 12 eV are determined by means of electron-energy loss (EEL) spectroscopy for the molecule deposited at submonolayer coverage on an inert Ar substrate. The lowest EEL features at 3.7 and 4.0 eV are attributed to the excitation of the triplet 1 3A'(pi --> pi*) and 1 3A''(n --> pi*) valence states of the molecule. The higher EEL features located at 4.9, 6.3, 7.3, and 9 eV with a weak shoulder around 6 eV are ascribed mostly to triplet valence (pi --> pi*) excitation manifold of the molecule. The energy dependence of the cross section for both the lowest triplet valence excitations shows essentially a peak at about 5 eV reaching a value of 2.9 x 10(-17) cm2. The cross sections for the higher EEL features are generally characterized by a common broad maximum around 8 eV. The latter reaches a value of 1.36 x 10(-16) cm2 for the combined 6 and 6.3 eV excitation region. The maxima in the present cross sections are found to correspond to the resonances that have been reported at about the same energies in the O- yield from electron impact on thymine in the gas phase.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
