Doubly differential cross sections of secondary electrons ejected from N/sub 2/ by electron impact have been measured by a crossed-beam method. The incident energies used were 50, 70, 100, 200, and 400 eV. The energy and angular range of secondary electrons measured were from 1.0 eV to one-half of the difference between the incident energy and ionization potential and 12/sup 0/ to 156/sup 0/, respectively. The present results have been compared with two previous measurements and considerable discrepancies were found.
