The authors considered the influence of electron-electron collisions on the form of informative parameter dependence on gas pressure in the method of pressure measurement based on scattering of electrons by gas molecules in crossed electric and magnetic fields when the magnetic field has much more critical value. It is shown that electron-electron collisions limit the lower bound of pressure measurement using this method.
Key words: soldered magnetron, electron-electron collisions, electron scattering by gas molecules, measurement of residual gas pressure, crossed electric and magnetic fields.
