The drift velocity and longitudinal diffusion coefficient of electrons in 0�2503% and 1� 97% C02-Ar mixtures were measured for 0�03 ~ E/N ~ 20 Td. The measured electron swarm parameters in the mixtures were used to derive a set of consistent vibrational excitation cross sections for the C02 molecule. Analysis of electron swarms in pure C02 using the present vibrational excitation cross sections was also carried out in order to determine a new momentum transfer cross section for the C02 molecule.

A Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) of an electron swarm in an argon-like gas (of atomic mass a.m.u.), with Golden's cross section with a very deep minimum, is presented in order to examine the breakdown of the validity of the conventional two-term expression for the transverse diffusion coefficient Dr indicated by Milloy and Watts. It is found that the MCS value of Dr approaches the two-term value much slower than other swarm parameters such as the drift velocity Wand the longitudinal diffusion coefficient ~. The discrepancy between the MCS and two-term values of Dr revealed by Milloy and Watts is attributable to the evaluation of Dr at the long transient (correlation) stage in the MCS. It is concluded that the two-term expressions for Dr and ~ (and other swarm parameters) are sufficiently accurate even for Golden's cross section with a very deep minimum.

The electron drift velocity, the longitudinal diffusion coefficient and the electron ionisation coefficient have been measured in helium, neon, argon and krypton using the integrated voltage transient technique. Whilst the present data agree substantially with previous determinations at those values of E / N at which they overlap, the current work represents a marked extension of the range of E/N covered for We and NDL in most of the gases investigated.
