✦ Synopsis

Three series of paradoxical experiments on diatom-atom rotational energy transfer (RET) are reviewed. Resolution of the paradoses leads to two propensity rules governing parity changes in RET collisions: (i) electronic spin orientation is conserved; and (ii) orbital angular momentum orientation is preserved in polar molecule-atom RET.

We have studied orbital alignment effects in a single supersonic jet. The Ar gas behind the nozzle is used as both the collision partner and the carrier gas for free jet expansion. The Ca 4s5p tP l state is prepared by a linearly polarized laser. By varying the angle of the laser polarization with r
