The mobility $\mu$ of excess electrons in dense Argon gas has been measured as a function of the applied electric field $E$ and of the gas density N at several temperatures in the range $142.6$T_c,$ shows the well known anomalous positive density effect, i.e., m0N increases with increasing N, confirming previous results obtained for T=300 K and 162.7 K. Below Tc, however, $\mu_0 N$ does not show the expected anomalous positive density effect, but it rather features a broad maximum. This appears to be a crossover behavior between the positive density effect shown for T>Tc and the small negative effect previously observed for T$\approx$ 90 K. In any case, the data at all temperatures confirm the interpretation of the anomalous density effect as being essentially due by the density-dependent quantum shift of the electron ground state kinetic energy in a disordered medium as a result of multiple scattering (MS) processes, although other MS processes do influence the outcome of the experiment.
