Total electron scattering cross sections are reported for Kr and Xe for 250-4500 eV electrons by measurement of the electron-beam intensity attenuation through a gas cell. These cross sections are compared with the previous experimental measurements and the predictions by theoretical and semiempirical models. Discrepancies in experimental cross sections between different experimental groups are explained using the oscillator strengths and inelastic threshold of electron-energy-loss spectra. The correlation between the total electron scattering cross section and the atomic radius is discussed for Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe atoms.
