ABSTRACT
This chapter continues the presentation of scattering cross sections in major industrial gases. This term is applied rather loosely since complex molecules such as CO2, NO2, SF6, etc. are considered, along with atomic gases such as mercury vapor and the common molecule of water, H2O. A brief discussion of quantum mechanical interpretation of scattering has been provided in Chapter 1 as an introduction. Excellent treatment of this aspect may be found in Morse,1 Massey and Burhop,2 and McDaniel,3 following the early treatment of Faxe´n and Holtsmark,4 Holtsmark,5 Rayleigh,6 Massey and Mohr,7 Mott and Massey,8 Massey,9 and Burke and Smith.10
