METHES: A Monte Carlo collision code for the simulation of electron transport in low temperature plasmas

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018) Abstract We present a freely available MATLAB code for the simulation of electron transport in arbitrary gas mixtures in the presence of uniform electric fields. For steady-state electron transport, the program provides the transport coefficients, reaction rates and the electron energy distribution function. The program uses established Monte Carlo techniques and is compatible with the electron scattering cross section files from the open-access Plasma Data Exchange Project LXCat. The code is written ...
