The experimental value of the collision-time asymmetry coefficient of the 3
26.1 nm Cd line perturbed by Kr was determined to be equal tot ( - 0.75 +/-
0.07) x 10(-21) (atom cm(-3))(-1) and compared with theoretical values com
puted for different interaction potentials on the basis of the Unified Fran
