Total ionization and electron attachment cross sections of CCl2F2 by electron impact

The absolute total ionization cross sections from threshold to 250 eV and dissociative attachment cross sections from zero to 10 eV have been measured for the CCl₂F₂ (dichloro-difluoro-methane) molecule by using a parallel plate condenser type ionization chamber. The maximum of the ionization cross-section curve was found to be at an energy of about 90 eV with a cross section of 1.44 × 10^?19 m². The attachment cross-section curve shows three peaks, the most intense being at zero electron energy with a cross-section value of 1.80 × 10^?20 m², and the other two at energies of 0.6 eV and 3.5 eV, respectively. The maximal relative error in cross-section values is 0.08, for electron energies larger than 0.4 eV.
