Abstract
The following cross sections for ⇆ fine-structure mixing in Rb, induced in collisions with ground-state Rb and noble-gas atoms, have been measured using methods of atomic fluorescence spectroscopy: Q → ) =93, 9, 6, 26, and 42; Q ← ) =62, 6, 3, 17, and 23, for Rb, He, Ne, Ar, and Kr, respectively, in units of . The measured cross sections are in good agreement with recent theoretical calculations of Sirko and Rosiński.
