S. Milosevic et al., THERMAL-ENERGY POOLING COLLISIONS IN CESIUM VAPOR - CS(6P(3 2))+CS(6P(3/2))-]CS(7P(3/2,1/2))+CS(6S(1/2))/, Europhysics letters, 32(9), 1995, pp. 703-708
We report the observation at thermal energies of the energy pooling co
llisions 6P + + 6P in Cs vapour excited by a laser diode. The rate coe
fficients of the process Cs(6P(3/2)) + + Cs(6P(3/2)) --> Cs(7P(3/2, 1/
2)) + Cs(6S(1/2)) are measured for the first time.
