Calculation of Excited Nitrogen Ion and Molecular Resonant Scattering Cross Sections,
Abstract
The phenomenon of resonant scattering in the atmosphere during light propagation at wavelengths of 10,600, 9180 and 3914 A has been used in a number of works. In this article the authors calculate the effective cross sections for the following resonant scattering reactions: N2(A triplet Sigma(u)(+)) + h(nu1) = N2(B triplet Pi(g)), N2(X doublet Sigma(g)(+)) + h(nu2) = N2(+)(A doublet Pi(g)), N2(+)(X doublet Sigma(g)(+)) + h(nu3) = N2(+)(B doublet Sigma(u)(+)).
