Total cross sections for electron scattering from Ne, Ar and Kr in the energy range 70-6000 eV

Abstract
Total cross section for electron scattering from Ne, Ar and Kr in the impact energy range 700-6000 eV have been measured. The experimental method has been based on the measurement of the attenuation of a linear electron beam. The results have been compared with available theoretical, semi-empirical and experimental total cross sections. No previous data have been found in the literature for impact energies above 3000 eV.
