Monte Carlo simulation of ion motion in drift tubes
Abstract
The motion of a swarm of ions in a uniform electric field is studied by simulating the motion of a single ion through many collisions with neutral atoms in order to obtain the drift velocity, average energy, and velocity distribution for the ions. For K+ ions in He at low field strengths, the results agree well with the solutions of the Boltzmann equation by Kumar and Robson; and for K+ in Ar at all field strengths, the computed mobilities demonstrate that the Viehland–Mason moment method can give useful results, especially if carried through to third order. The velocity distributions computed for O+ ions in He and Ar are used in the accompanying paper by Albritton et al. to analyze drift tube measurements of O+ reaction rates. Significant deviations from the Maxwell–Boltzmann form have been found and are seen to have important effects in that application. Velocity distributions have also been obtained for Li+ in He. The sensitivity of ionic mobilities to changes in the ion–atom interaction potential is examined with particular reference to K+ ions in Ar.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
