Abstract
Well-established quantum mechanical methods were used to calculate multipole cross sections in sodium–xenon collisions. The cross sections were opacity analyzed to determine the relative importance of various angular momenta; the relaxation of the alignment was found to be the multipole most dependent upon low angular momenta (e.g., small impact parameter) collisions. While all the cross sections reported are found to be in satisfactory agreement with experiment, the relaxation of occupation of the j=1/2 state was found to be in excellent agreement with recent experimental results.
