Abstract

Benchmark calculations are reported for anisotropic scattering in Boltzmann equation solvers and Monte Carlo collisional models of electron swarms in gases. The work focuses on isotropic, forward, and screened Coulomb models for angular scattering in electron-neutral collisions. The impact of scattering on electron swarm parameters is demonstrated in both conservative and non-conservative model atoms. The practical implementation of anisotropic scattering in the kinetic models is discussed.
