What is it about?

The electronic excitations to the Cs^+^ + N_2_(A ^3^Σ) and Cs^+^ + N_2_(a ^1^Π) states were observed by differential scattering experiments. The spin-changing N_2_(A ^3^Σ) excitation was dominant electronic excitations at lower energies E < 17.5 eV.

Why is it important?

Energy transfer mechanisms on backward scattering in the moderate-energy Cs^+^-N_2_ collisions were interpreted by assuming empirical potential model. Near threshold collision energies the prominent excitation is due to the spin-changing excitation to the N_2_(A ^3^Σ) state.

Perspectives

This report provides an experimental finding on the electronic excitation process in the closed-shell Cs^+^-N_2_ system.
