Abstract

We review recent (2005–2010) results from our total cross section measurements for positron scattering from bio-molecules. In particular we systematically analyse those data in an attempt to understand the role that the long-range dipole interactions (i.e. dipole moment and dipole polarisability) have on the interaction dynamics, when positrons respectively scatter from water, formic acid, tetrahydrofuran, 3-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran, pyrimidine and di-hydropyran.
