Journal Article
Cooper, G. A., Clarke, C. J., & Verlet, J. R. R. (2023). Electron impact resonances of uracil in an aqueous environment from anion photoelectron imaging. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 56(18), Article 185102. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6455/acf353

The effect that solvation has on electron attachment to uracil, U, was studied by probing the electronic resonances of the uracil radical anion, U−, in gas-phase water clusters, U−(H2O)n, using photoelectron imaging across a range of photon energies....

Low-Energy Shape Resonances of a Nucleobase in Water (2022)
Journal Article
Cooper, G. A., Clarke, C. J., & Verlet, J. R. (2022). Low-Energy Shape Resonances of a Nucleobase in Water. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 145(2), 1319-1326. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.2c11440

When high-energy radiation passes through aqueous material, low-energy electrons are produced which cause DNA damage. Electronic states of anionic nucleobases have been suggested as an entrance channel to capture the electron. However, identifying th...
