Response to ‘‘Comment on ‘14N spin relaxation studies of N2 in buffer gases. Cross sections for molecular reorientation and rotational energy transfer’ ’’ [J. Chem. Phys. 100 , 1775 (1994)]

The origin of the factor 1/4 in the equation describing the quadrupolar relaxation times for linear molecules in the dilute gas phase is clarified. The quadrupolar relaxation cross-sections for nitrogen molecule are around 30 Å2 as reported by us and not around 120 as claimed in the comment.
