Normalized experimental differential cross sections for scattering angles in the range 20deg;ndash;85deg; are presented for elastic scattering and excitation of the fundamental vibration of N2and CO by electrons with impact energy 20 eV. From three of the four differential cross sections we are able to estimate the integral cross sections. The cross sections for N2are in good agreement with those of Pavlovicet al. The elastic scattering cross sections are compared to the predictions of the polarized Born approximation using five model potentials (including polarization) which have been previously proposed for N2or CO. The model of Crawford and Dalgarno is in good agreement with experiment and the model of Sampson and Mjolsness can be put in good agreement by changing an empirical ``cutoff parameter'' by about 0.5a0. The vibrational excitation of N2appears to be dominated by resonance scattering, as originally suggested by Pavlovic etal; We show that the vibrational excitation of CO also appears to be dominated by resonance scattering.
