T. Grimmbosbach et al., CALCULATION OF CROSS-SECTIONS FOR ROVIBRATIONAL EXCITATION OF N-2 BY ELECTRON-IMPACT, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 29(3), 1996, pp. 105-112
Rovibronic cross sections for the excitation of various rotational and
vibrational levels of N-2 by electron impact for scattering energies
in the range of 1-4 eV have been calculated in the framework of the R-
matrix approach. The new non-adiabatic phase matrix method (NADP) is e
mployed for the nuclear vibrations. The results are compared with expe
riment and with other theoretical data and are found to be in excellen
t agreement with measurements in the energy region of the (2) Pi(g) sh
ape resonance.
