Electron scattering cross sections of the fluoronitrile C 4 F 7 N
Abstract
Abstract A set of electron–molecule scattering cross sections for the fluoronitrile C 4 F 7 N is presented. The cross sections were derived from data obtained by electron-energy-loss spectroscopy, vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption, scattering calculations, and electron-transport-coefficient measurements. The cross sections enable calculations of electron-transport coefficients at energies above 100 eV, suitable for simulations of high-energy particle detectors. The cross sections are implemented in the Monte Carlo solver Magboltz and Degrad and will be available on the open-source database LxCat.
