M. Cattani, RACEMIZATION PRODUCED BY ELASTIC AND INELASTIC MOLECULAR-COLLISIONS IN DILUTE GASES, Journal of quantitative spectroscopy & radiative transfer, 55(2), 1996, pp. 191-193
A simple many level model is developed to estimate the racemization pr
oduced by inelastic molecular collisions in dilute gases. The racemiza
tion due to elastic and inelastic collisions are compared.
