    Abstract

    We describe the challenges facing, and opportunities for, the scattering community as it attempts to provide complete cross-section databases for the modeling of a variety of important applications in fusion science and low-temperature plasmas. We outline a suggested protocol for how the community might collectively move forward to construct both benchmarked collision systems and ultimately a complete cross-section database for a 1 given species. Some examples of scattering data and techniques that may be useful for benchmarking are provided.
