Hello,

I suspect that in a table of the Triniti database (see screenshot) it is reported the wrong molecule (Ar instead of He) or the literature reference is wrong.
The reference doi is below and they report about Helium metastable atoms and not Argon.

Regards
Michele

        abstract = Cross sections for the ionization of metastable helium atoms, predominantly in the 23S state, at electron energies from the threshold to 1000 {eV} have been measured using the crossed electron and fast atom beam technique. Corrections are made for the presence of ground-state atoms and a very small concentration of highly excited atoms. The semiquantal binary encounter data agree satisfactorily up to 20 {eV}, but less well at higher energies. From 200 to 1000 {eV}, the measured data agree well with Bethe-Born cross sections of Briggs and Kim (1971) for He(23S) provided a correction is made to take account of a spurious contribution to the ionization signal which is only significant at the higher energies. All the various Born cross sections, at high energies, are substantially lower than the present measurements and also the Bethe-Born data, but they are either comparable with or smaller than the measured cross section at its peak.
