“…The large number of derivations of the momentum transfer cross section for krypton, am, from analyses of electron swarm transport data that exist in the literature, are in poor agreement (see for example Elford et al 1992), reflecting uncertainties in the experimental data and the intrinsic non-uniqueness of cross sections derived from transport data. Despite accurate experimental data, recent derivations, such as that of Hunter et al 1988 (based on an analysis of electron drift velocity data for pure krypton), suffer from significant uncertainty, arising from the relatively low sensitivity of the drift velocity to the momentum transfer cross section at energies in the vicinity of the Ramsauer-Townsend minimum.…”
