Experimental Studies of Cold Electron-Attachment to SF6, CF3Br, and Ccl2F2
A new technique has been used for the measurement of electron attachment rate coefficients for the molecules, SF6, CF3Br, and CCl2F2 at temperatures between 48 and 170 K. The results demonstrate very clearly the strong effect that internal vibrational energy of the molecules has on the attachment process.
