The satellite bands and the shifts of the Cs lines in the spectra of Cs- hydrocarbon mixtures were studied. The hydrocarbons were isomers of butene (butene-1, butene-2, isobutene), -butane (n-butane, isobutane), pentane (npentane, isopentane, neopentane), and hexane (n-hexane, 3methylpentane, 2,3- dimethylbutane, neohexane). Four different types of sateliite bands were observed. The shifts of high members of the Cs principal series extrapolated to relative density 1 were 41, 47, 47, 48, 55, 58, and 81 cm/sup -1/ for n-pentane, isopentane, n-hexane, 3-methylpentane, 2,3methylpentane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, neopentane, and neohexane, respectively. The results of simultaneous measurements of the band positions and shifts of high members of the Cs principal series suggest that the positions of the high-intensity red satellite bands are determined primarily by the effective cross sections of foreign-gas molecules for slow electrons rather than by the mass or polarizability of these molecules as thought previously.
