Abstract
The problem of reaction efficiencies in steady-state multilevel systems is analyzed using a matrix formulation. Several special cases are treated with particular attention to the existence of a low-pressure anomaly. The results apply equally well to the calculation of unimolecular reaction efficiencies, fluorescence yields and the analogous quantities in any process involving competitive pressure-dependent transitions between two subsets of states.
