Electron scattering cross sections for momentum transfer and inelastic excitation in carbon monoxide
Abstract
Cross sections for momentum transfer and for rotational, vibrational, and electronic excitation were obtained from an analysis of experimental data for electron drift velocity, characteristic energy, and ionization coefficient. Recently measured data in the range 1×10-16?E/N?4×10-15 V cm2 were included in the analysis.
