The drift of electrons in argon, krypton and xenon is studied for the reduced electric field range of interest for electroluminescence based radiation detectors (E/p=0.5 to 5 V cm -1 Torr -1 ), using a unidimensional Monte Carlo model which is described in detail. Appropriate factors are introduced in this model to take into account the three-dimensional nature of the electron scattering process. Electron drift velocities, reduced light output and excitation and scintillation efficiencies are obtained. Some detailed information on drift times and drift distances between elastic and inelastic collisions is also presented.
