DESCRIPTION: IST-Lisbon database contains up-to-date electron-neutral scattering cross sections (together with the measured swarm parameters used to validate these data), resulting from the research effort of the Group N-Plasmas Reactive: Modelling and Engineering (N-PRiME) with IPFN/IST (Instituto de Plasmas e Fusao Nuclear / Instituto Superior Tecnico), Lisbon, Portugal.
The data, compiled from the literature, correspond to contributions from different authors (see detailed references in the database). For each gas the database presents a COMPLETE SET of cross sections, validated against measured swarm parameters by solving the two-term homogeneous electron Boltzmann equation. In most cases, predictions are in agreement with measurements within 1-20%, for reduced electric fields E/N ~ 1e-4 - 500 Td. To improve predictions at low E/N, some sets need to be completed with rotational cross sections, also available in the database.
