The energy dependence of the integral cross section for the electronic excitation in collisions of K and Hg is investigated for er?ergies between 50 eV and 1500 eV. By the measurement of the spectra of the emitted light the 4\*Pjn and the 4\*Pla states of poQs.sium are found to be dominant. For thes

✦ Synopsis
The electronic excitation in atom-atom collisions is treated by describing the heavy particle motion in the Born approximation.
To deal with Ihe electronic wavefunction it will be in many casts a reasonable first ;Ipprosimation to assume il one-electron model for one ntom and kerp the other atom in the initial state. In this :!lodcl the scattering amplitude is sho\vn to depend only on the interaction of this one elecrron with the rarget and the form-factor of the respective states. Calculations for this one-electron model are presented, showing rm oscillatory behsviour in the integral cross section. These oscillations are due to the electron-target interaction.
The results are in good agreement with esperimental data.
