Abstract
A method is presented to calculate the rates of collision-induced transitions on the basis of collision-broadening theory. The rates are calculated for important collisional transitions responsible for the change in intensity ΔI/I of the signal transition observed in double resonance experiments involving H2CO, HDCO, H2CCO, HCN, and DCN. The values of ΔI/I derived from the calculated transition rates agree satisfactorily with the measured ΔI/I.Keywords
