title: Laser excitation of NaNe collision pairs probing the A2Pi potential.
abstract: Experimental differential cross sections for the collision process Na(3s)2S+Ne+hnu-->Na(3p)2P+Ne are reported. By comparison with calculated cross sections, we are able to discriminate between different spectroscopic and quantum chemical A2Pi potentials with cm(-1) sensitivity.
