Cross-section tables from Magboltz 11.11

[micrenda]

Magboltz is the leading software on the simulation of electron swarm parameters in gaseous mixture (ref). For this reason, it is heavily used in high energy physics for the simulation of gaseous detectors.

The main advantage of Magboltz is that it is a turn-key solution. It includes in its source code a huge list of cross-section tables (both experimental and analytical one) for a reasonable number of different gas.

We think that these tables are a gem for anyone involved in the simulation of electron swarms and could be used also outside Magboltz.

The aim of this topic is to organize an extraction of these cross-section tables, with a proper characterization and some guidelines.

	Very important: these tables belong to Magboltz (written by S.F. Biagi), so, if you are using them, take care of properly cite the relevant journal articles and sources. No guarantees are given about the correctness of these table, so use it at your own risk!

In this file it is possible to see the list of tables found in Magboltz. The first column is an ID used to uniquely identify the table. The comments are taken directly from the Magboltz code.
