Abstract

Resonances for collisions of electrons with

O_{2}

and NO are studied by measuring the derivative of the current transmitted through NO and

O_{2}

. In both these gases we find vibrational progressions of compound states. The spacings and Franck-Condon factors for these progressions agree with those of the respective positive ions. Thus it appears that these compound states consist of two Rydberg electrons loosely attached to the ion core.
