Abstract

The cross section for de‐excitation of the

A^{3} Σ_{u}^{+}

state of N₂ in collisions of a metastable molecular beam with NO and N₂ molecules has been measured in the energy range 250–2200 eV. The two cross sections are roughly the same in magnitude, and decrease toward higher velocities approximately as

(b–a \log {υ)}^{2}
