Fig. 6From: Analysis of velocity-mapped ion images from high-resolution crossed-beam scattering experiments: a tutorial reviewSimulated scattering images for elastic NO-Ne collisions. The images illustrate the asymmetry in intensity and resolution due to the velocity spreads of the beams alone (a) and due to a combination of beam spreads and the flux-to-density effect (b). The simulation parameters pertain to the experimental conditions; in (a) the finite laser probe volume is neglected, whereas in (b) the probe volume is taken into account. In both simulations an isotropic DCS is assumedBack to article page
