Abstract
The electron impact cross sections for vibrational excitation of the A 3 Sigma u+ and B 3 Pi g valence states of the N2 molecule show similar broad overlapping resonant peaks for impact energies from about 8.2 to 11 eV for the A 3 Sigma u+ state and from about 9 to 11.5 eV for the B 3 Pi g state. In each case, a sequence of minor oscillations is superimposed on these peaks. In the cross section of the vibrational levels of the B 3 Pi g state, the minor peaks appear at different energies and with slightly different spacings.Keywords
