Abstract
Four different spin-dependent scattering cross sections are calculated by semiclassical and by partial-wave analyses for each of the five alkali atoms, Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs, for 124 different relative kinetic energies. These cross sections are finally averaged thermally. The results agree very well with experiments.Keywords
