Accurate momentum transfer cross section for the attractive Yukawa potential

Abstract

Accurate expression for the momentum transfer cross section for the attractive Yukawa potential is proposed. This simple analytic expression agrees with the numerical results better than to within $\pm 2\%$ in the regime relevant for ion-particle collisions in complex (dusty) plasmas.
