摘要：

Inelastic cross sections for collisions between thorium (Th) and helium (He-3) are measured. For Th[F-3(2)]-He-3, we determine the ratio of momentum transfer to Zeeman relaxation cross sections to be gamma similar to 500 at 800 mK. For Th[P-3(0)]-He-3, we find no quenching of this metastable state during 10(6) collisions. We measure the radiative lifetime of Th[P-3(0)] to be tau > 130 ms. The observed stability of Th[P-3(0)] opens up the possibility of trapping this metastable species.
