Abstract
We calculate the effect on the electron energy distribution of small partial fractions of oxygen in electron beam excited argon discharges. We find the calculated dissociation rates of O2 by electrons do not explain experimentally observed dissociation rates if we include only the 8.4 eV energy loss peak as dissociation.Keywords
