Abstract

A technique is described for the study of electrons which are elastically scattered from a gas target into a small solid angle centered at 180° with respect to the direction of the incident electron beam. The method is applied to electron scattering from CO₂. Information is obtained concerning the nature of the compound state in the 4-eV region.
