We compare and discuss the total, elastic and inelastic cross sections for these species in the light of potential positron and electron-induced damage in biomolecular systems.Author/s retain copyrightLow-energy positron and electron scattering from tetrahydrofuran and 3-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran201410.1088/1742-6596/488/7/0720072015-12-11
