Evaluated electron scattering cross section dataset for gaseous benzene in the energy range 0.1-1000 eV.

ABSTRACT

In this study, a complete and self-consistent cross section dataset for electron transport simulations through gaseous benzene in the energy range 0.1-1000 eV has been critically compiled. Its reliability has been evaluated through a joint experimental and computational procedure. To accomplish this, the compiled dataset has been used as input for event-by-event Monte Carlo simulations of the magnetically confined electron transport through gaseous benzene, and the simulated transmitted intensity has been compared with the experimental one for different incident energies and benzene gas pressures.
