Abstract
The ratio of longitudinal diffusion coefficient to mobility (DL/μ) for electrons in helium, argon, krypton and xenon have been surveyed experimentally for E/N values between 0.001 and 44 Td at temperatures between 77°K and 373°K. The data are derived from transit times and half widths of current waveforms obtained during earlier measurements of electron drift velocities (Voshall et al., 1965). The scatter in the data is typically ± 20%. All gases were of research grade and the vacuum system was baked out at 250°C for 14 hours giving a rate of rise of less than 10−7Pa/min.
