Differential cross sections for electron-impact excitation of the electronic states of N sub 2
- Institute for Atomic Studies, School of Physical Sciences, The Flinders University of South Australia, Bedford Park, South Australia (AU)
Differential cross sections for the electron-impact excitation of the first ten electronic states of N{sub 2} have been determined at five incident energies ranging from 15 to 50 eV. These differential cross sections were obtained for the scattering range 10{degree}--90{degree} by analyzing electron-energy-loss spectra in N{sub 2} at a number of fixed scattering angles within that range. The present study represents a comprehensive remeasurement of the earlier work of Cartwright and co-workers (Phys. Rev. A 16, 1013 (1977)) and was undertaken with a view to resolving certain anomalies which have been reported in the literature when the earlier cross-section set has been applied to model calculations of swarm parameters.
