Abstract

Averaged (with Maxwell's and Druyvesteyn's electron velocity distribution functions) electron collisional ionization cross sections and rate coefficients are given for the atoms in the ground state in the form of analytical formulas. These formulas work well either for small or for high values of mean electron energy in the partially ionized gas.
