We have derived exact analytical formulas for piecewise calculation of collision frequency integrals for low energy ion transport in a background gas and in a mixture of background gases. These calculations are required for Monte Carlo simulations of ion transport and hybrid models of non equilibrium plasmas. The range of energies where it is necessary to apply this technique has been defined. Our calculations for the transport of ions in a model gas having a constant cross section are in excellent agreement with the benchmark data from accurate solutions to the Boltzmann equation. Benchmark calculations for ion motion in hot background argon are also given.
