In an ionization chamber filled with nitrogen at 1 atm, pulses of positive and negative charge carriers were produced by x-ray beam pulses. Oxygen (up to 2.5 vol%) and/or water (up to 2.3 vol%) were added to the nitrogen. The ion mobilities and electron accumulation probabilities were determined from the oscillograph. The probabilities were strongly reduced by water vapor impurities. The electron accumulation probability increases with the oxygen concentration. In nitrogen with 2.3 vol % water vapor, it is approximately 10 times larger than in dry nitrogen. Water vapor alone in nitrogen appears to accumulate no electrons. (tr-auth)
