Recent Studies of Vibrational Excitation of N2 by Electron Impact
Abstract
The vibrational excitation of nitrogen molecules by electron impact was studied by analyzing electrons at an angle of 72 degrees. The vibrational excitation in N2 is interpreted as a process involving a compound state of the nitrogen molecule. The lifetime of the compound state is comparable to the vibration time, i.e., of the order of 10 to the -14th power sec.
