Abstract

Primary ionization coefficients for argon gas have been measured in a crossed magnetic field in the equivalent reduced electric field range 50 V/cm torr ≤ (E/p)e≤ 100 V/ cm torr, thus extending earlier measurements to the Paschen minimum. The derived electron–molecule collision frequencies increase strongly with increase in (E/p)e due to the Ramsauer effect. This behaviour of the electrons in argon is compared and contrasted with that in ethane gas.
