Description
We examined the algorithm used in Garfield++ for computing the electron attachment in gaseous mixtures
and we found that it can be corrected by hand to take into account the contributions of individual gases to
the attachment mechanism. We applied the revised calculation to compute the electron attachment as a
function of the electric field and compared the results with some experimental results, obtaining reasonable
agreement for mixtures containing noble gases, isobutane and oxygen.
