Electron-Atom Collisions in Gases
Kraftmakher, Yaakov
Physics Education, v48 n6 p746-749 Nov 2013
Electron-atom collisions in gases are an aspect of atomic physics. Three experiments in this field employing a thyratron are described: (i) the Ramsauer-Townsend effect, (ii) the excitation and ionization potentials of xenon and (iii) the ion-electron recombination after interrupting the electric discharge.
