Time-of-Flight Electron Spectrometry.

Abstract

Development of an electron spectrometer for total cross-section measurements in gases with energy selected electrons below 2 eV is described. The energy selection principle is time-of-flight registration of single electrons from a pulsed source at a sequence of pressures of specimen gases filling the flight tube. Measurements of the toal cross section of helium between 2.0 and 0.4 eV have been made with the instrument. Appendices containing detailed accounts of the system and evaluations of its performance are included. Suggestions for improvements are made. (Author)
