The 'quasi-resonant' energy pooling process in a rubidium vapour (Rb(5p 2 P 3 2/)+Rb(5p 2 P 3 2/)+68 cm -1 to Rb(5d)+Rb(5s 2 S 1 2/)) is experimentally investigated. An asymptotic theoretical model is applied to this reaction and gives a cross section (1*10 -14 cm 2 ) close to the experimental value (3*10 -14 cm 2 ). The results are discussed together with available data for other alkali atoms.
