Abstract
The collision-induced exothermic fine-structure transition has been observed in a crossed-effusive-beam experiment, by measuring the time of flight of metastable atoms scattered perpendicularly to the incident-beam plane. In this direction, the elastic scattering is kinematically discriminated. The identification of the transition is achieved by pumping or levels with a cw dye laser.
