Low energy (6–18 eV) electron scattering from condensed thymidine (dT) III: absolute electronic excitation cross sections
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Absolute cross sections (CSs) for electronic excitation by low-energy electron (LEE) scattering, from condensed thymidine (dT) in the 6-18 eV incident energy range, were measured by high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). Various electron energy loss (EEL) spectra were acquired using 1 ML of dT condensed on a multilayer film of Ar held at about 20 K under ultra-high vacuum (∼1 × 10-11 Torr). dT is one of the most complex DNA constituents to be studied by HREELS and these spectra provide the first LEE energy-loss data for electronic excitation of a nucleoside. CSs for transitions to the states 13A', 13A'', 23A', 21A', 33A', 23A'', 43A', 33A'', 53A' and 51A' of dT were extracted from the EEL spectra. These states correlate to those previously measured for the thymine moiety. Two broad resonances are observed in the energy dependence of the CSs at around 8 and 10 eV; these energies are close to those found in earlier gas- and solid-phase studies on the interaction of LEEs with dT, thymine and related molecules. A quantitative comparison between the electronic CSs of dT and those of thymine and tetrahydrofuran indicates that no variation is induced in the electronic CSs of thymine upon chemically binding to a deoxyribose group.

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.
