Abstract

Fully Λ-doublet quantum state-resolved differential cross-sections for collisions of NO(X) with neon at a collision energy of 540 cm−1 are presented. Initial state selection of the Ω = 0.5, j = 0.5, f Λ-doublet level of the NO(X) was achieved using hexapole focussing. Both spin-orbit level conserving and spin-orbit level changing transitions have been studied. The experimental results are compared with those obtained from quantum scattering calculations and are shown to be in excellent agreement. Quantum scattering calculations have also been performed on a modified potential energy surface with the attractive region removed, to determine the effects this has on the differential cross-sections. Comparisons are also made with the inelastic scattering of NO(X) with He and Ar.
