Data have been compiled on the cross sections for collisions of electrons and photons with oxygen molecules (O2). For electron collisions, the processes included are: total scattering, elastic scattering, momentum transfer, excitations of rotational, vibrational, and electronic states, dissociation, ionization, and attachment. Ionization and dissociation processes are considered for photon impact. Cross‐section data selected are presented graphically. Spectroscopic and other properties of the oxygen molecule are summarized for understanding of the collision processes. The literature was surveyed through August 1987, but some more recent data are included when available to the authors.
