ICS for vibrational excitation of CO. Integral cross sections for electron-impact vibrational excitation of CO for 0 → ν', for ν' = 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, determined as relative values by Allan [8] and scaled to the value of Gibson et al [6] for 0 → 1 at 1.91 eV (———). Interpolated cross sections for ν' = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 (- - - -). Measurements of Poparić et al. [7] (– – – – –).
