This paper presents the use of swarm method for obtaining sets of cross sections on an example of Neon gas (Ne). Cross sections for e-/Ne interaction available in the LxCat database were presented and discussed. The following three bases were selected: Biagi-v7.1, Morgan and Siglo. We used Bolsig+ code to calculate reduced ionization coefficient (α/N), after which calculated values were compared to measured values in the Dutton base. The swarm method was demonstrated in the α/N example, where the Morgan cross sections set was used as an entry parameter for calculation of coefficient.
