MC simulations of nitrogen swarm parameters: comparison of cross-section sets

The swarm parameters of nitrogen have been reinvestigated using Monte Carlo isotropic method and cross-section (CS) sets compiled by Kochetov (in: L.S. Polak (Ed.), Plasma-Chemical Processes, Nauka, Moscow, pp. 4–43 (1979) (in Russian)), Phelps and Pitchford (Phys. Rev. A 31 (1985) 2932) and Campbel...

Description
Summary:The swarm parameters of nitrogen have been reinvestigated using Monte Carlo isotropic method and cross-section (CS) sets compiled by Kochetov (in: L.S. Polak (Ed.), Plasma-Chemical Processes, Nauka, Moscow, pp. 4–43 (1979) (in Russian)), Phelps and Pitchford (Phys. Rev. A 31 (1985) 2932) and Campbell et al. (J. Phys. B 34 (2001) 1185). It was concluded that basing on the existing experimental data and their statistical errors, it is not possible to make a sound recommendation of the CS set—at least for isotropic approximation. Further improvements in CS sets are possible only when the new, more refined experimental data, including longitudinal diffusion coefficient and differential cross section, will be available.
