Abstract Differential scattering cross sections for single-star/hard-binary interactions are obtained on the basis of 400,000 numerical scattering experiments and presented in atlas form. The equal-mass case is considered, using the methods described by Hut and Bahcall (1983) and analyzing all combinations of 27 categories of initial conditions and scattering characteristics. The atlas is applicable to three-body-scattering studies, calculations of the probability of a certain scattering type for a given case, or star-cluster-evolution modeling.
