Abstract

New measurements of electron drift velocities in mixtures of nitrogen and argon have been analysed to determine the normalization factor for the vibrational excitation cross sections for nitrogen. The validity of applying a two-term solution of the Boltzmann equation in these mixtures is demonstrated. The derived cross sections are shown to be consistent with earlier transport data in pure nitrogen.
