The time-dependent behavior of subexcitation electrons is studied by a technique that employs the {ital continuous} {ital slowing{minus}down} {ital approximation}, {ital combined} with the {ital Spencer{minus}Fano} {ital equation} via a time-dependent version of the {ital entry} {ital spectrum}. The method is used first to establish generalities about the time behavior of subexcitation electrons generated by initially-high-energy electrons and then is employed to follow the development of subexcitation electron degradation spectra generated by 1-keV electrons in argon.
