Elastic Electron Scattering in Gases

Abstract

THE investigations by Arnot1 and others of the scattering of electrons in gases show that marked diffraction minima occur in the angular scattering curves. Their measurements show also indications of an anomalous course of the velocity scattering curves. Still, as only the relative values of the scattering are determined, a comparison of the scattering through a constant angle for different electron velocities is subjected to incontrollable errors.
