Abstract
An electron impact process leading to the dissociation of molecular nitrogen through the intermediate formation of a temporary negative ion is described. The process is observed by detection of a narrow band of slow electrons ejected from N-(3P). The cross section for dissociation has a vertical onset just above the dissociation limit of N2 and reaches a peak value of 2.5*10-18 cm2+or-50%.Keywords
