Transport properties of ion swarms in presence of Resonant Charge Transfer
(RCT) collisions are studied using Momentum Transfer Theory (MTT). It was
shown that, not surprisingly, RCT collisions may be represented as a special
case of elastic scattering. Using the developed MTT we tested a previously
available anisotropic set of cross-sections for 
collisions by making the comparisons with the available data for the
transverse diffusion coefficient. We also developed an anisotropic set of
integral cross-sections based on the available data
for mobility, longitudinal and transverse diffusion. Anisotropic sets of
cross-sections are needed for Monte Carlo simulations of ion transport and plasma
models.
