Abstract

We have calculated state-to-state total cross sections for rotational excitation and inversion of NH 3 by collisions with Ar using the close coupling method. The Ar-NH 3 interaction potential has been obtained from a fit to the spectrum of this van der Waals molecule. The calculated cross sections agree to within about 30% with the measured values; the estimated error in the latter is 10% to 20%.
