The energy distributions of positrons scattered around 0° from H2O have been measured in coincidence with the remnant ions (H2O+, OH+ and H+) at 100 eV and 153 eV incident energies. The maxima of the distributions (d2σ/dE+dΩ) associated with the production of OH+ and H+ are about 5–10 times smaller than that for H2O+. At both incident energies, a small shoulder has been observed at ~28 eV in the energy loss spectra associated with H2O+ production possibly arising from a shake-up band associated with the 2a1 orbital. The branching ratios for the H+ and HO+ fragments are also presented.
