Electronic‐to‐vibrational energy transfer has been studied by solving numerically the close‐coupling equations, in the T‐shape configuration, on the two lowest electronic states of the Na–N2 system. The diabatic potential surfaces were taken from Archirel and Habitz while the interelectronic coupling was modeled by different Gaussian‐type functions. Different sets of parameters for the coupling were used in order to study the final vibrational distributions of N2. Finally, partial quenching probabilities are presented and compared with previous theoretical and experimental works.
