Abstract

The advent of tunable lasers has provided the means to study many processes of fundamental importance in atomic and molecular physics. Among the phenomena of current interest are “laser-assisted” or “laser-induced” collisional processes[1]. In this context these terms refer to processes which result in atomic or molecular final states that are only accessible to irradiated systems undergoing collisional interaction[2];
