 H + CH4  H_CH4_EC.txt 'Electron transfer in collisions of hydrogen atoms and ions with methane' B. G. Lindsay, W. S. Yu, and R. F. Stebbings.

Notes:

  • The first column in each table is the laboratory scattering angle (deg); the other columns give the differential cross sections (10-16 cm2 sr-1) and the respective uncertainties.
  • In the work of Smith et al. (1991), the angular uncertainty in the 2 keV data is ±0.010 deg. while that in the 3-5 keV data is ±0.0065 deg. Their data were obtained by digitizing the available graphs.
