Title: Improved total inelastic scattering cross section for the rare gases
Abstract: New calculations for the total inelastic electron scattering cross sections for the elements H, He, Ne, Ar and Kr at incident electron energies of 500 eV and 40 keV are presented. The calculations are given for both an old and a new formula for the total inelastic scattering cross section and are compared where possible with the results of more rigorous calculations. The new results predict that the total inelastic scattering cross sections will be lower for the heavier elements by a factor of 2–4 than previously reported. In addition the value of the cross section for Ne in the low energy region is found to be surprisingly small.
