Description

Cross sections for inelastic collisions of aligned, excited atoms are calculated using ab initio molecular potential curves and couplings and a fully quantum mechanical scattering treatment. Agreement with currently available data is reasonable. The cross sections for specific transitions exhibit strong, energy-dependent oscillations, which are attributed to an interference effect
