Abstract

The angular momentum transfer between electronic and heavy particle motion has been studied for inelastic collisions of laser state-prepared Na*(32P3/2,MJ) with Na+ leading to Na*(32D) or Na(32S) in the energy rangeEcm=5−47.5 eV. The measurements are compared to semiclassical calculations employing the coupled channel method in the impact parameter approximation but including dynamics of the electron spin coupling to the heavy particle motion.
