Cross Sections for Electron Collisions with N2, N2*, and N2+

Electron collision cross section data are complied from the literature for electron collisions with the nitrogen molecules, N2, N2+, and N2*. Cross sections are collected and reviewed for total scattering, elastic scattering, momentum transfer, rotational excitation, vibrational excitation, electronic excitation, dissociative processes, and ionization. The literature has been surveyed up to the end of 2021. For each of these processes, the recommended values of the cross sections are presented.
