Differential and total electron scattering from neon at low incident energies

Abstract
Absolute differential (in angle) and total scattering cross sections for low-energy (0.1-7.0 eV) electron scattering from neon have been measured. Both data sets have been analysed using phaseshift techniques and comparisons are made between the present cross sections and phaseshifts and similar data from previous swarm and beam experiments, and theory. We also discuss the present data in the context of the recent proposal by Shi and Burrow (1992) regarding the use of neon as a secondary elastic cross section 'standard'.
