Abstract

This paper deals with the measurement of the mobility of negative ions in the mixtures of CCl4 with Ar with the CCl4 ratio up to 33.3%. The pulsed Townsend technique was employed to produce an integrated ionic avalanche over a range of the density-reduced electric field E/N for which ionization is either negligible or absent, and attachment processes are dominant, leading to the formation of mostly CCl4. The E/N range of measurement was 1–50 Td (1Td=1017Vcm2). Our measurements strongly suggest that attachment is the dominant process and only negative ions are formed.
