Abstract

Studies of the behaviour of an electron swarm in various inert gases are not only important in practical applications such as the electrical discharge engineering and the development of radiation detectors or gaseous lasers, but also of great value, or even indispensable, in obtaining precise information about collision processes, especially the elastic scattering, of low-energy electrons with gas atoms.
