Accurate momentum transfer cross section for the attractive Yukawa potential

Plasma Physics 2014-05-01 v1

Abstract

Accurate expression for the momentum transfer cross section for the attractive Yukawa potential is proposed. This simple analytic expression agrees with the numerical results better than to within ±2%\pm 2\% in the regime relevant for ion-particle collisions in complex (dusty) plasmas.
