- Test the theoretical reaction rates for dissociation and electron-impact ionization of N2 + e
- Verifying the correct Q-K implementation for the possibility that both reactions can happen within a single collision
- Reference databases for dissociation show acceptable agreement with Arrhenius results (no Arrhenius rates for ionization)
