Abstract

The rotational angular momentum dependence of the nonspherical scattering amplitude is investigated for inelastic collisions of linear molecules. As far as the approximation of small nonsphericity can be applied, this dependence is obtained from the angular momentum dependence of the nonspherical interaction potential. The connection between the nonspherical scattering amplitude and observables that can be measured by molecular scattering experiments involving a polarized beam is discussed. Some qualitative remarks are made on collision brackets occurring in the theoretical expressions for the bulk viscosity and for the Senftleben-Beenakker effect for H2 and HD
