Abstract: The role of (n-n')-mixing processes in active galactic nuclei broad-line region (BLR) clouds has been studied. Our investigation indicates that these collisional processes must have influence on the populations of the excited hydrogen atoms in moderately ionized layers of dense parts of the BLR clouds and are of interest for its modelling and research. We provide results potentially important for the spectroscopy and modeling of the BLR clouds, as well as for the study of hydrogen Rydberg states.
