Abstract: The paper considers collisions involving spin polarized alkali Na and Cs atoms in the ground state. The complex cross sections for spin exchange and the elastic scattering cross sections of the considered atoms are calculated in the energy range from 10$^{-4}$ to 10$^{-2}$ a.u.

Keywords: optical orientation, polarized atoms, cross sections, spin exchange.
