In this review, we give a summary of different low-energy electron-induced fragmentation processes that can be initiated by the secondary electrons generated in

• different low energy electron-induced fragmentation processes that can occur (DEA, DI, ND, and DD) with emphasis on the different nature and different energy dependence of these processes. We then explore the value of studying these processes through comparative gas phase and surface studies with reference
