Abstract

The collisional deactivation of the Na

5 s

and

4 p

states by collisions with

N_{2}

molecules has been studied using the method of laser-induced fluorescence. The total cross sections for the depopulation of the

5 s

and

4 p

states are 86(8) and 43(4)

Å^{2}

, respectively. The cross sections for the specific collisional transfers

5 s \to 4 p

,

5 s \to 3 d

, and

4 p \to 3 d

are 32(8), 10(2), and 19(3)

Å^{2}

, respectively.
