Electron spectroscopy is used to measure the energy dependences of the differential cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons by magnesium atoms at low energies. The singularities observed in the cross sections are due to formation and decay of short-lived negative Mg/sup -/ ions. The spectra of the electrons released as a result of the decay of the autoionizing states at bombarding-electron energies lower than 17 eV are also studied. A post-collisional effect that leads seemingly to a shift of the autoionizing-state thresholds is recorded.
