Scientific paper

A theory is presented for the rates of excitation, deexcitation, and ionization arising from the impact of two heavy particles at thermal energies. The rates for the forward and backward transitions are shown to satisfy the principle of detailed balance. Calculations are performed for the n --> n+1, n+2, and n+3 transitions of atomic hydrogen, initially in quantum level n(10 - 150), induced by collision with hydrogen and helium atoms. Ionization rates from these levels are also given. The excitation rates are compared with those calculated from the approximate theory of Bates and Khare.
