## Transitions between the ²Π₁͵₂ and ²Π₁͵₃ spin-orbit components of NO induced by impact of slow electrons

### In: Physical Review Letters, 2004, vol. 93, p. 063201-63204

The electron impact cross section for the transition between the ²Π₁͵₂ and ²Π₁͵₃ spin-orbit components of the ground electronic term of nitric oxide, separated by 15 meV, has been measured as a function of electron energy at a scattering angle of Θ= 135°. It is dominated by the ³Σ⁻ and the ¹Δ resonances. Its magnitude is very large, at peak about equal to that of the elastic... Plus

Summary
The electron impact cross section for the transition between the ²Π₁͵₂ and ²Π₁͵₃ spin-orbit components of the ground electronic term of nitric oxide, separated by 15 meV, has been measured as a function of electron energy at a scattering angle of Θ= 135°. It is dominated by the ³Σ⁻ and the ¹Δ resonances. Its magnitude is very large, at peak about equal to that of the elastic cross section. The elastic cross sections for the two components have also been determined.
