Total electron-scattering cross-section for molecular hydrogen at low energies by photoelectron spectroscopy

The relative total electron-scattering cross-section for molecular hydrogen has been measured in the energy region 0.02–1.14 eV. In general the Ramsauer technique is used for such a measurement, but in the present experiment the relative cross-sections have been measured by photoelectron spectroscopy. This is the first time that this technique has been put to such a use. The results in this energy region seem to match better the results of Ramsauer and Kollath than those of Golden et al.
