Abstract
Measurements of total cross section for collision of slow electrons between 2 and 40 volts have been carried out in ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ and ${\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}$ by use of a Brode type apparatus. The results for ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ compare well with those of previous investigators and with the theory of elastic scattering. The cross section of ${\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}$ is of order 2000 sq. atomic units with a maximum at $2.65\ensuremath{\surd}V$, the curve being similar to those for Na, K, Cs and Rb. Application of the theory of elastic scattering indicates that only a small portion of these collisions can be elastic.
