Abstract

The mobility of α particles in helium gas is calculated using the zeroth-order Viehland-Mason theory with interaction potentials recently computed by Cohen and Bardsley. The results show a dependence on field strength similar to the measurements of Johnsen and Biondi but are lower in magnitude by about 5%.
