Orbital alignment effects are investigated for an energy transfer process involving several competing pathways in the system Sr( 5s6p 'P, ) + rare gases and Hz. Most of the cross sections to populate either (I ) the combined 5s6p 'P, and 4d5p 3Fq states or (2) the individual 4d5p 3Fg level show a m

โฆ Synopsis
The total quenching cross sections for strontium (5~6~ 'Pi) collisions with the rare gases are determined by pulsed laser, time-resolved fluorescence measurements to be 80, 40, 73, 101,140 AZ for He, Ne, Ar, Rr and Xe, respectively. For cohisions with Kr, alI of the near-resonant states, 4dSp 3F, 5s6p 3P and 4d5p 'D2, are observed to be excited. The cross sections are interpreted in terms of a curve crossing mechanism. The product branching can be explained in terms of strong coupling of the initial state with the near-resonant states, weighted by energy gap considerations.
