Abstract
The standard theory for laser- (or light-) induced collisional processes is applied to excitation transfer and charge transfer. Detailed calculations are carried out for specific processes which have been studied experimentally, with good understanding resulting for most of the observed features. We study the variation in cross-section magnitude and line shape with transfer laser intensity, and find characteristic differences between the excitation-transfer and charge-transfer processes.Keywords
