Abstract

An equation giving the absolute cross sections q21(u) of collisions of the second kind between excited atoms and slow electrons is obtained. The determination of q21(u) entails measurement of the current on the collector which is due to collisions of the second kind and the effective life of the investigated level. The value of q21(u) and Hg(63P0,2) was calculated. The value of q21(u) was determined for the following slow-electron energies: in the case of Hg(63P0) q21(u)=2.6 · 10−15 cm2 for u=0.13 eV and for Hg(63P2) q21(u)=1.1 · 10−15 cm2 for u=0.3 eV. The obtained results are compared with other experimental and theoretical data and are discussed.
