Abstract
Using recently measured vibrational and electronic electron impact cross sections, a self‐consistent set of cross sections was obtained by numerically solving the Boltzmann transport equation and requiring that calculated and measured transport quantities be in agreement. The resulting set of cross sections and the calculated drift velocity, characteristic energy, equivalent electron temperature, and excitation and ionization rates are presented.Keywords
