Abstract
Differential collision cross section measurements for the scattering of hydrogen and deuterium atoms from argon and methane have been carried out with a crossed beams scattering apparatus which uses an oscillating supersonic beam as scattering target and a cryogenic bolometer as beam detector. Diffraction oscillations have been clearly resolved. The data are analyzed with a best fit computing procedure in terms of simple intermolecular energy functions. Well depth parameters for both Ar and CH 4 are 60% larger as compared with those predicted by the geometric mean combination rule while the experimental minimum of the well positions are 10% smaller as given by the arithmetic mean combining rule.
