Abstract
Experimental results are given for the ratio W xl W. of transverse to longitudinal drift velocity for electron swarms in nitrogen moving in crossed electric and magnetic fields. The results, obtained by Huxley's method, cover the range 0·04 < Elp < 8·0 V cm-1 torr-1 at 293°K. The apparatus and experimental procedures which have been developed permit accurate measurements to be made so that significant tests of the method have been possible over wide ranges of the experimental parameters. Information concerning the variation of the momentum transfer cross section with electron energy, and concerning the energy distribution function, can be obtained by comparing a quantity
