The analysis of all existing theoretical and experimental results concerning collisional fine structure (FS) mixing, suggesting that their agreement depends on FS separation and FS components intensity anomaly, showed that the test of the theoretical model should be made on sodium atoms. Therefore, the mixing cross sections for the nP (n = 6 ÷ 24) states of sodium atoms colliding with noble gas atoms, N2 and sodium atoms in the ground state have been calculated theoretically. Cross sections also for the lowest nP states of Na and Rb atoms have been estimated.
