Partial doubly differential cross sections {ital d}{sup 2}{sigma}({ital n})/{ital dEd}{Omega} for the production by electron impact of argon ions having charge states from {ital n}=1 to {ital n}=4 have been measured as a function of the angle of ejection {theta} in the range 40{degree}{lt}{theta}{lt}113{degree}, with the energies of the incident and ejected electrons being 1.0 keV and 200 eV, respectively. A comparison has been made with similar data from the literature and explanations have been offered for the behavior of the measured angular variations.
