Abstract
When one component of a binary mixture is selectively excited on a resonant state, the interaction between excited and ground state atoms broadens the line profile.Here, the broadening coefficient of the 123,58 nm krypton resonant line, due to Kr-Ar collisions, is determined experimentally from measurements of the imprisonment time of the resonant state.
