Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The collision of a polarizable neutral particle with a charged particle in plasmas is studied. The neutral particle interaction with a charged particle is considered to be due to an induced dipole moment. Taking into account screening and a finite size of colliding particles, we present accurate and simple interpolation formulas for the total scattering cross section in the case of contact of the neutral particle with the dust particle surface. The results are obtained for both weak and strong coupling between colliding particles.
