Abstract

Electron drift velocities are reported for XeCF₄, XeC₂H₂ and XeCF₄C₂H₂ mixtures. For a number of these mixtures the drift velocities are large (4 to 10 × 10⁶ cm s^-1) over a range of E P values below 3.5 V cm^-1 Torr^-1. Such mixtures may find application in gas-filled detectors, especially those involving electromagnetic ionizing radiation.
