Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 1814–1817 (1994)Theoretical investigation of collisions of aligned atoms: Ca(4s4f 1F)+HeReceived 30 August 1993; published in the issue dated 21 March 1994 Cross sections for inelastic collisions of aligned, excited atoms are calculated using ab initio molecular potential curves and couplings and a fully quantum mechanical scattering treatment. Agreement with currently available data is reasonable. The cross sections for specific transitions exhibit strong, energy-dependent oscillations, which are attributed to an interference effect. © 1994 The American Physical Society URL:
