Best cross sections for the calculation of electron swarm parameters in nitrogen by the Monte Carlo code
摘要
In this work a new set of cross sections based on the Itikawa cross sections is regrouped to give a better agreement of the electron swarm parameters in nitrogen calculated by the Monte Carlo model with the experimental measurements. A comparison is made between the electron swarm parameters calculated using the new cross sections using Itikawa cross sections, Phelps-Pitchford cross sections in the Monte Carlo code, and Phelps-Pitchford cross sections in the Boltzmann equation code. The new set provides the best agreement with the experimental measurement in a wide range of the reduced electric fields from 0.5 to 1000 Td.
