J. Thomson. In spite of this, our knowledge of cross sections is still far from complete.More recent experiments had some unexpected results, like selective fragmentation of DNA constituents by low-energy electrons, or "reverse" phenomena, i.e., synthesis of simple amino acids from inorganic precursors, triggered by slow electrons. The most recent need for cross sections comes from modeling plasmas for industrial and thermonuclear applications, and atmospheres of solar and extra-solar planets.Both fundamental research (experiments, theory, reviews) and applications of electron-scattering cross sections in various processes are welcome.PhysicsbicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscalcoholsalkali metalsapproximation of cross sectionsargon optical emission spectroscopybackscatteringBEB approachbinary-encounter-Bethebutanolcollisional-radiative modelcoronal modelscoulomb glorycritical minimacross sectioncross sectionscross-section calculationsdisordered systemsdispersion relationdissociative electron attachmentDNA damageelectronelectron and positron scatteringelectron atomic collisionselectron captureelectron elastic scatteringelectron ionizationelectron mobilityelectron opticselectron scatteringelectron scattering cross sectionselectron track simulationelectron transport in gaseselectron-impact ionizationelectron-molecule collisionselementary processes in plasmasfew bodyhelium dropletsinelastic collisionsintegral cross sectionsinterstellar mediumionizationionization cross sectionionizing radiationisomeric effectmass spectrometryMCDF wavefunctionsmetastable statesmodel potentialmultiple-scattering effectsn/anoble gasesNon-Maxwellian plasmasnonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium plasmasnumerical simulationsopacity effectspentanolplasma processingplasma simulationpopulation kineticspositronpositron impact ionizationpositron scatteringpositron-molecule scatteringR-matrixradiation transportrate coefficientsrelativistic distorted wave methodscattering cross-sectionsspin asymmetrytotal cross-sectionstotal polarizationtransition ratesvibrational cross-sectionvibrational excitationwaterwave-packet propagationwavelengthsweak localizationPhysicsResearch and information: generalKarwasz Grzegorz Piotredt1285387Karwasz Grzegorz PiotrothBOOK9910580208903321Electron Scattering in Gases — from Cross Sections to Plasma Modeling3019569UNINA
