Abstract

The mean energy lost by slow electrons in collisions with molecules has been calculated from published electron transport data. The general features of the large fractional energy losses are explained in terms of either direct molecular excitation or indirect via the decay of low-energy compound negative ion states. Evidence is also provided which suggests that the N₂O compound negative ion resonance at 2.3 eV predominantly decays elastically.
