Abstract
Quantitative measurements have been made of the total number of positive charges per electron per centimeter path at a definite pressure and temperature in mercury vapor as a function of the energy of the impacting electrons out to 750 volts. The maximum efficiency 19.40 occurs at about 85 volts.Keywords
