Abstract
The population distribution in the rotational levels of the B2Σu+ state of N2+ produced in Li+–N2 collisions has been measured for incident Li+ energies in the range 3 to 10 keV. Boltzmann distributions were found at all energies at rotational temperatures decreasing from 2500 °K for 3 keV excitation to 960 °K for 10 keV. This variation is shown to be consistent with a simple model of the conservation of angular momentum in the collision.
