Scientific paper

It is shown how present uncertainties in the ability to compute collisional cross sections for rotational transitions can lead to order of magnitude errors in the interpretation of the observed antenna temperatures for rotational emission lines from interstellar clouds. The framework within which improved cross sections can be derived is described, and progress is reported in the aim of reducing the theoretical uncertainty by a factor of five.
