摘要
Abstract This work proposes a complete and consistent set of cross sections (CS) for electron collisions with water gas molecules to be published in the IST-Lisbon database on LXCat. The set is validated by the electron swarm analysis technique. The anisotropic angular distribution of electrons in rotational collisions is considered by means of the Born approximation in a two-term Boltzmann solver (LisbOn KInetics two-term Boltzmann solver (LoKI-B)) and a Monte Carlo simulations code (LoKI-MC), both freely available as open-source codes. The inclusion of electron anisotropic scattering in rotational collisions significantly improves the agreement between calculations and measurements of the electron drift velocity, reduced mobility, characteristic energy, reduced Townsend ionisation coefficient, reduced effective Townsend coefficient and reduced attachment coefficient. The MC simulations are deemed more accurate and shown to yield similar results as LoKI-B with the proposed set. The use of LoKI-MC also validates the set of CSs against parameters that cannot be obtained by LoKI-B, such as the longitudinal diffusion coefficient or the bulk transport coefficients.
