Abstract

The lifetime of the 6³P₁ state of Hg was observed as a function of Tl density at two different Hg pressures. From these data it appears that at high Tl densities the lifetime of the 6³P₁ state of Hg is controlled by collisions with Tl atoms. Using this assumption and simple gas kinetic theory, a cross section for these collisions was calculated.
