Calculation of electron swarm parameters in fluorine

Abstract
Swarm parameters of electrons have been calculated for fluorine by a Monte Carlo simulation and the Boltzmann equation method for the first time. Values of these parameters have been obtained for ratios of the electric field to the gas number density E/N from 100 to 3000 Td (E/p0 =35∼1000 V/cm Torr). Available experimental and theoretical cross sections were used for the calculations.
