A new technique for measuring the spin-exchange cross-section between different atoms

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

A technique for measuring the spin-exchange between unlike atoms is proposed which makes use of a tunable dye laser; it has been tested in the measurement of the Sodium-Rubidium cross-section yielding a value of 2.6×10−14 cm2. Suggestions for improving on its accuracy are given.
