✦ Synopsis

The draft velocity, mean energy and ionization coejicients in nitrogen are reevaluated using the Monte Carlo technique over the range of 50 < E/N < 560 Td. Recently published data on cross-sections, including ten vibrational levels and eighteen excitation levels, are used in the simulation for the first time. The theoretical swarm parameters agree very well with experimental and other theoretical results with only a slight modification of the cross-sections. New data on collision frequencies for ionization, dissociation and various excitation states are reported.
