TABLES OF DRIFT VELOCITIES OF SLOW ELECTRONS IN HELIUM, NEON, ARGON, KRYPTON, XENON, HYDROGEN, DEUTERIUM, NITROGEN, CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER VAPOR, NITROUS OXIDE, AND AMMONIA

Abstract

The report presents in tabulated form the drift velocities of electrons in various gases. The drift velocities were measured in helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, hydrogen, deuterium, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and ammonia for E/p values from 0.0001 to 30 volts/cm-mm Hg at several gas temperatures between 77K and 443K. In all gases except neon measurements were extended to low enough E/p such that the electrons were in thermal equilibrium with the gas.
