Cross sections for electron-impact excitation of the electronic states of N₂

Distorted-wave cross sections are presented for the excitations of the w¹Δ_u, W³Δ_u, A³Σ⁺_u, b^'¹Σ⁺_u, and c^'¹Σ⁺_u states of N₂ by low-energy electron impact. The distorted waves are obtained in the static-exchange field of the ground electronic state. Differential and integral cross sections are presented from near threshold up to 60-eV impact. Comparison is made with available experimental data and with other calculations.
