Conclusion In this paper numerical calculations of the electron energy distribution and some swarm parameters are presented on the basis of a numerical solution of Boltzmann equation with the cross-sections assumed to be given. The method requires that the set of the cross-section data be well known. The accuracy of all the results at moderate values ofE/N is then dependent only on the cross-sections whilst the calculations for high values ofE/N can be, furthermore, distorted by an inadequate approximation (1) which is otherwise commonly used for these purposes. In fact, it can be said that all our swarm parameter curves lie within the limit of the spread of the experimental points. It implicates that there is no possibility to reduce possible imperfections of the present calculations till better experimental values of both the cross-sections and swarm parameters become available. The reasons remain probably the same even if other methods for analyzing the behaviour of the electron swarms were applied.
