For pt.I see ibid., vol.10, no.7, p.1035 (1977). The electron swarm parameters for the steady-state Townsend, pulsed Townsend and time-of-flight experiments are calculated using a Boltzmann equation for argon at E/N values from 85 to 566 Td, when electron impact ionization is appreciable. The results suggest that the value of an electron swarm parameter depends on the type of the experiments involved, because of the presence of the ionization, in agreement with the Monte Carlo simulation work in the previous paper. The drift velocities and diffusion coefficients when ionization is present, are discussed.
