Abstract
Electron-impact excitation of CO plays an important role in Planetary atmospheres and interstellar clouds. At the present time, serious dicr epancies exist among excitation cross sections reported in the literat ure for this molecule. We measured electron-impact excitation cross se ctions for B1SIGMA+<--X1SIGMA+, C1SIGMA+<--X1SIGMA+ and E1PI <--X1SIGM A+ states of CO at 100 eV impact energy using electron energy-loss spe ctroscopy.
