Total electron-scattering cross sections from pyridine molecules in the energy range 1-200 eV

We report on total electron-scattering cross sections from pyridine as measured with a magnetically confinedelectron-beam system for impact energies ranging from 1 to 200 eV, including measurements for energies below10 eV. Reasonable agreement with previous measurements for energies above 10 eV has been found. Systematicerrors arising from elastically and rotationally scattered electrons into the detector acceptance angle have beenevaluated. Results are compared with available calculation both for the 10-200 eV and below 10 eV energy ranges.The evaluated data provided in this study will facilitate electron transport modeling in biologically relevant media
