Abstract

The need for electron collision cross-section data has substantially increased in recent years. Modelling and interpreting the behavior of a large variety of naturally occurring and human-made plasma systems require the knowledge of cross sections for pertinent electron collision processes. In general, one needs to consider a large variety of collision processes and needs to know the impact energy and angular dependence of the corresponding cross sections. In addition, benchmark data are required to guide development of theoretical models and computational schemes for calculating these cross sections. In spite of these needs, the available database on cross sections is rather limited. The measurement of accurate cross sections is difficult and time consuming, and extensive coverage is an overwhelming task for the experimentalists.
