✦ Synopsis

The electronic energy transfer from Xe('P,) to CO yields an enhanced population of the fine structure components CO(d, a= 2, 3) relative to a= 1, in the vibrational level v= 7, but not in u=6. A theoretical analysis is given for the Q-selectivity considering: (i) a pure Coulomb interaction coupled with electron exchange and (ii) spin-dependent interactions. In case (i) only noncollinear collision geometries are allowed, and the predicted relative Q population agrees with the observation for v-7. In case (ii), collinear excitation transfer can occur, but the observed 52 distribution is only consistent with non-collinear collisions. Similar predictions are also made for Xe(3P,,) reactions.

A theoretical analysis is given for the excitation transfer of Xe('P,) +N, (X IX ,') + Xe ( 'SO) + N, (B 'Qy). The analysis is based on (i} pure Coulomb interaction coupled with electron exchange and (ii) spin-dependent interaction between the collision partners. Both mechanisms can account for the
