Abstract

An experiment is described that allows to measure the magnetic deflection angle α and the drift velocity w in crossed electric and magnetic fields for arbitrary gas mixtures. The method covers about two orders of magnitude in the reduced electric field, magnetic fields up to 1 T and tan α up to 4.5. An unprecedented accuracy for w and tan α of about ± 1% including systematic uncertainties could be achieved. Results of measurements in pure methane, argon with 10% methane and krypton with 5% methane are presented and discussed.
