Triple differential cross section (TDCS) measurements for ionization of N 2 are presented in a coplanar geometry where one of the outgoing electrons was fixed in angle. Data were obtained at incident electron energies 20 eV and 40 eV above the ionization potential (IP) for the 3σ g and 1π u states, the outgoing electrons carrying equal energies. Six sets of measurements were obtained at each energy, with fixed angles of 45°, 90° and 125° to the incident electron direction. The data are compared to new calculations using distorted wave methods.
