Abstract
The advance in the physics of lasers based on molecular gases excited by nonself-sustained discharges has made it essential to understand the elementary processes occurring in the plasma of such gases. In the working mixture of the CO2-lasers, one can often find the molecules of oxygen, which is one of the typical electronegative gases. Accordingly, one should know the constants of electron attachment to oxygen at discharge parameters characteristic of CO2 lasers, i.e., the E/P ratio ranging from 5 to 15 v/cm torr.
