Abstract

Distorted-wave cross sections are presented for the excitations of the

w {}^{1}Δ_{u}

W {}^{3}Δ_{u}

A {}^{3}Σ_{u}^{+}

b^{'} {}^{1}Σ_{u}^{+}

, and

c^{'} {}^{1}Σ_{u}^{+}

states of

N_{2}

by low-energy electron impact. The distorted waves are obtained in the static-exchange field of the ground electronic state. Differential and integral cross sections are presented from near threshold up to 60-eV impact. Comparison is made with available experimental data and with other calculations.
