Abstract
The anisotropic and isotropic binary collision-induced spectra scattered by gaseous methane have been measured in absolute units up to 900 cm{sup -1} from the Rayleigh line. Corresponding theoretical intensities taking into account multipolar polarizabilities have been calculated using a semiclassical procedure. From the analysis of, mainly, our isotropic scattering data, values of the dipole-quadrupole and dipole-octopole polarizabilities are deduced. They are found to be in good agreement with recent ab initio calculations.
