Electron swarm parameters in C2H6 - measurements and kinetic calculations
The electron swarm parameters (bulk drift velocity, bulk longitudinal component of the diffusion tensor, and effective ionization frequency) in C2H6 (ethane) are investigated for a wide range of the reduced electric field by means of measurements and kinetic calculations. The dataset contains results of measurements in a scanning drift tube apparatus under time-of-flight conditions as well as of kinetic swarm calculations, using solutions of the electron Boltzmann equation and Monte Carlo simulations.
