A program was initiated to measure the electric dipole polarizabilities, higher energy moments and cross sections for the scattering of low energy electrons by alkali halide molecules, their dimers and larger clusters. Preparatory work is also being carried out to perform similar measurements on the important atomic species, N, O, C and S. This report presents some preliminary data of the measurements of the polarizabilities of (CsCl)/sub 2/, (RbCl)/sub 2/ and (KCl)/sub 2/. A description is contained of a new scattering apparatus now under construction that will enable scattering experiments with high energy (< 0.80 eV) and angular (< 1/sup 0/) resolution, with state preparation and analysis.
