Collisional ionization has been observed in the collision of electronically excited sodium atoms with potassium atoms. By means of the crossed-beam and stepwise laser excitation technique and time-of-flight measurements, the folowing reactions hnve been invcstigarcd: Penning ionization, Na\* + K -Na
Associative ionizing molecule-atom collisions Na\*( A 'Cc ) +Na( 3p) -+Na: + e have been observed at simultaneous excitation of dimers and atoms by means of two lasers. Measurements of the relevant ionization current show that the cross section of molecule-atom ionizing collisions exceeds by an orde
