Hunter, S R

The traveler attended the XVIII International Conference on Phenomena in Ionized Gases and presented a paper Electron Transport Studies of Gaseous Media for Diffuse Discharge Closing Switches.'' This is a large conference attended mainly by eastern and western European participants and covers many branches of gas discharge physics, including basic and applied studies. The traveler also presented a paper entitled Low Energy Electron Drift and Scattering in Krypton and Xenon'' at the 5th International Swarm Seminar. The emphasis of this conference was on basic electron and ion-molecule interaction processes which are of considerable interest in our more applied gas discharge programs. During the seminar the traveler also visited the experimental laboratories of Professor D. Smith and Dr. N. G. Adams at the Department of Space Research, University of Birmingham, UK, and discussed their experimental techniques and electron attachment measurements which, in some gases, are in considerable disagreement with those obtained by the traveler's group at ORNL.
