Experimental techniques employed in this study include a linear transmission apparatus and a reaction microscope system. To fulfill the transport model requirements, theoretical data have been recalculated within our independent atom model with screening corrected additivity rule and interference effects (IAM-SCAR) method for energies above 10 eV. In addition, results from the R-matrix and Schwinger multichannel with pseudopotential methods, for energies below 15 eV and 20 eV, respectively, are presented here. The reliability of this complete data set has been evaluated by comparing the simulated energy distribution of electrons transmitted through pyridine, with that observed in an electron-gas transmission experiment under magnetic confinement conditions. In addition, our representation of the angular distribution of the inelastically scattered electrons is discussed on the basis of the present double differential cross section experimental results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms21186947","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,22]],"date-time":"2020-09-22T09:40:56Z","timestamp":1600767656000},"page":"6947","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["A Complete Cross Section Data Set for Electron Scattering by Pyridine: Modelling Electron Transport in the Energy Range 0\u2013100 eV"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Filipe","family":"Costa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de F\u00edsica Fundamental, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Serrano 113-bis, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Traor\u00e9-Dubuis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de F\u00edsica Fundamental, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Serrano 113-bis, 28006 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Laboratoire de Recherche en Ing\u00e9nierie Biom\u00e9dicale et Physique M\u00e9dicale, Universit\u00e9 Polytechnique Ouest Africain, Route de Ngor Almadies, Dakar 50465, Senegal"}]},{"given":"Lidia","family":"\u00c1lvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de F\u00edsica Fundamental, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Serrano 113-bis, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Ana I.","family":"Lozano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de F\u00edsica Fundamental, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Serrano 113-bis, 28006 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Colis\u00f5es At\u00f3micas e Moleculares, CEFITEC, Departamento de F\u00edsica, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Xueguang","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Dorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1951-4848","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo","family":"Lim\u00e3o-Vieira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de Recherche en Ing\u00e9nierie Biom\u00e9dicale et Physique M\u00e9dicale, Universit\u00e9 Polytechnique Ouest Africain, Route de Ngor Almadies, Dakar 50465, Senegal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4332-434X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Blanco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Estructura de la Materia F\u00edsica T\u00e9rmica y Electr\u00f3nica e IPARCOS, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Plaza de Ciencias 1, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2754-2788","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan C.","family":"Oller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaciones Energ\u00e9ticas Medioambientales y Tecnol\u00f3gicas (CIEMAT), Avenida Complutense 22, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaciones Energ\u00e9ticas Medioambientales y Tecnol\u00f3gicas (CIEMAT), Avenida Complutense 22, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3843-0578","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adri\u00e1n","family":"Garc\u00eda-Abenza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de F\u00edsica Fundamental, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Serrano 113-bis, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9264-3932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jimena D.","family":"Gorfinkiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Sciences, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7989-1878","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandra S.","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de F\u00edsica, Universidad Federal do Paran\u00e1, Caixa Postal 19044, Curitiba 81531-980, Paran\u00e1, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Marcio H.
