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

The evolution of the μNth value at different temperatures was achieved through the drift velocity of electron. The results were show when the temperature was increased, the number of the electrons will be decreased because using the momentum transfer cross section for CO2 molecules through collisions. The calculation of the diffusion coefficient was used to deduce the μNth values of CO2 electrons at temperature between 288 to 573 k by utilization numerically the Boltzmann equation solution. The results were appearing the agreement with the theoretical and experimental data. Keywords: Diffusion Coefficients, Boltzmann Equation, Swarms Parameters, Energy Distribution Function.

A multi-term solution of the Boltzmann equation is used to calculate the spatially homogeneous velocity distribution function of a dilute swarm of electrons moving through a background of denser neutral molecules in the presence of crossed electric and magnetic fields. As an example, electron motion in methane is considered.

The transport coefficients υdr and D⊥/μ have been measured in mixtures of 0.5 % and 4 % hydrogen in argon. All measurements were made at 293 K. It is shown that for these mixtures the use of the solution of the Boltzmann equation based on the two-term Legendre expansion of the velocity distribution function introduces no significant error in the analysis of the transport data. All the experimental data have been predicted to within � 3.5 % using previously published cross section data.

Abstract. The basic equations of wave distribution function analysis are rewritten in forms that treat the electric and magnetic fields of the waves in a more symmetrical way than the original equations do, and are slightly better for computing.Key words.
