Abstract
A spectrometer has been devised for determining electronic energy levels of molecules by inelastic scattering of low-energy electrons. It permits the detection of optically forbidden electronic transitions as clearly as optically allowed ones in a routine manner. The spectrometer has been used to obtain excitation spectra for helium, argon, hydrogen and ethylene. For the first three of these substances, the spectra agree with previous experiments. For ethylene, in addition to optically allowed transitions, two forbidden ones occur at about 4-6 and 6-5eV. Variation of peak heights with incident electron beam energy suggest that the first corresponds to a triplet state but that the second does not.
