THE ROTATIONAL EXCITATION OF MOLECULAR NITROGEN BY SLOW ELECTRONS

Abstract

A quantal calculation is carried out of the energy loss parameter which occurs in theories of radio wave interaction in the atmosphere and its accuracy is discussed. The limits of validity of the conventional formulation of radio wave interaction are briefly examined. (Author)
