Extended Boltzmann analysis of electron swarm experiments
Abstract
We present a method for generalizing the traditional two-term Legendre expansion solution of the Boltzmann equation in the context of electron swarm experiment analysis. The method is applied to the calculation of the distribution function and transport coefficients in ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ and in two model cases. We find that the two-term approximation is of limited validity for the cases considered here, and that four to eight terms in the Legendre series are required for convergence of the transport coefficients to the accuracy required for the determination of cross sections from swarm experiments.

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.
