A near infrared broadband excimer emission band and an amplified sponaneous emission (ASE) of the Na
2 violet excimer band have been observed by electron beam excitation of a dense sodium vapor. The continuum from 820 to 900 nm is attributed to the Na
2 first bound-free transition band c
3Σ
+g→ a
3Σ
+u and the violet excimer band centered at 436 nm is attributed to the Na

3Σ
+u bound-free emission which was already observed in the optical pumping. The mechanisms for the c
3Σ
+g state formation are proposed to be the three-body collision recombination and the atom-molecule collisional energy transfer. The formation of the 2
3II
g state is proposed by a dissociative recombination of Na
3+ which is efficiently yielded by electron beam. In addition, a discrete structure band observed on the long wavelength side of the violet bands is believed from the Na
