The quantitative investigation of the energy pooling collision (EPC) process between resonantly laser excited In atoms is reported. The process is studied in a laser induced fluorescence (LIF) experiment where the nP populations, with n=11, 10 and 9, are monitored. The population mechanism for these levels is verified via a temporal analysis of the fluorescence signals. This is possible in In due to the strongly reduced self trapping of the resonant radiation. The cross section for energy pooling collision to these nP levels has been derived by considering the Rydberg character of these levels.

Abstract
The quantitative investigation of the energy pooling collision (EPC) process between resonantly laser excited In atoms is reported. The process is studied in a laser induced fluorescence (LIF) experiment where the nP populations, with n=11, 10 and 9, are monitored. The population mechanism for these levels is verified via a temporal analysis of the fluorescence signals. This is possible in In due to the strongly reduced self trapping of the resonant radiation. The cross section for energy pooling collision to these nP levels has been derived by considering the Rydberg character of these levels.
