Abstract
A theory for the collisional angular-momentum mixing of the Rydberg states of sodium atoms in rare gases is presented. The theory involves a coupled-state calculation based on a pseudopotential interaction between the valence alkali-metal electron and the rare-gas atom. The theory is in good agreement with experiment.Keywords
