We investigate the spatial distribution of electrons photodetached from a polar molecular anion in an external static electric field. The large electron-molecule scattering amplitude strongly enhances the rescattering effect. This opens an opportunity for experimental investigation of collisions of ultraslow electrons (in the energy range below 0.1 meV) by polar molecules.
