Abstract
The first numerical tests, for a real system, of the Quasi classical description of redistribution of polarized radiation through atomic collisions are presented. Polarization results are reported for red-wing redistribution of Sr (1S0 1P1) in the presence of Ar colliders. They compare favorably to recent quantal, nonadiabatic computations. It is shown that the effects of bent trajectories are important. Modified Quasi classical formulas to account for some of these are presented and tested. The results indicate that Quasi classical analysis can be used to probe the transformation from molecular to atomic states as atoms separate in a half-collision. © 1987 The American Physical Society.
