Abstract

By inference from hard-shell dynamics it is suggested that initially sudden, large-action rotational excitation in atom-linear molecule collisions will change from sudden to non sudden outcome, if the maximal, reduced collisional moment of inertia of the system at closest approach (μ/ I) ( R x n̂ ) cmax 2 ≈0.5.
