Abstract
A transmission experiment is used to observe the structure in the total electron-impact cross section in CO and . The structure in the cross sections is enhanced by measuring directly the derivative of the transmitted current. An isolated resonance in CO is observed at an electron energy of 10.04±0.03 eV. In , structure is observed which correlates well with the absorption spectra in the energy range 8-10 eV. In addition, two very sharp resonances (30-meV width) are observed at 8.02±0.03 and at 8.25±0.03 eV.
