IONIZATION CROSS SECTIONS IN He, Ne, A, Kr, AND Xe BY ELECTRON IMPACT

Journal Article · · Journal of Electronics and Control (England)
Measurements of the total ionization cross sections for the rare gases helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon under electron impact extending over the electron energy range up to 100 ev were made with a Tate and Smith apparatus and a Lozier-type apparatus. The two sets of measurements show close agreement with one another in the entire electron energy range; however, some deviation irom earlier data is observed. The first ionization potentials were determined using an absolute method for the electron energy calibration, and the agreement with the spectroscopic values is within the error in the electron energy measurement, which is plus or minus 0.08 ev.
