The LisbOn KInetics Monte Carlo solver

The LisbOn KInetics Monte Carlo (LoKI-MC) is an open-source code for the Monte Carlo simulation of electron transport in an arbitrarily complex gas mixture [1]. The simulation tool can address electron-neutral collisions with any target state (electronic, vibrational and rotational), characterized by any user-prescribed population, allowing to include the effects of superelastic collisions in a general manner. The influence of the thermal motion of the background molecules is considered, enabling the description of electron swarm properties at low reduced electric fields E/N. On output, the code provides: the electron energy and velocity distribution functions; flux and bulk swarm parameters; collision rates; power balance; and the spatiotemporal evolution of the electron swarm. The code will be released as part of the simulation tools provided by the N-PRiME group at Lisbon. We will also discuss the features of future versions: inclusion of time-dependent electric fields, magnetic fields (crossed at any arbitrary angles) and anisotropic scattering for any type of collision.
