Title: DRIFT VELOCITIES OF SLOW ELECTRONS IN KRYPTON XENON, DEUTERIUM, CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER VAPOR, NITROUS OXIDE, AND AMMONIA. Scientific Paper 62-908-113-P4. Technical Report 11

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4830031

Drift velocities of electrons in krypton, xenon, deuterium, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and ammonia were measured for E/p values between 2.5 x 10/sup -4/ and 30 volts/cm-mm Hg at temperatures between 77 and 443 deg K. The data were obtained from measurements of electron transit times in a double-shutter drift tube. Values of the momentum transfer cross section as a function of electron energy for electrons with energies between about 0.003 and 0.08 ev are obtained which are consistent with the measured drift velocities for thermal electrons in all the gases reported.
