Fig. 3

Velocity mapped ion image for the inelastic scattering process NO(j=1/2f)+Ne→NO(j=7/2e)+Ne. The Newton diagram pertaining to this scattering process is given as an overlay. The pre-collision laboratory (red) and center-of-mass (blue) velocity vectors of the NO and Ne beams, as well as the center-of-mass velocity vector (green) are indicated. Scattered molecules are expected on the so-called Newton circle indicated by the dashed green circle. Throughout this manuscript, scattering images are presented such that the mean relative velocity is oriented horizontally, and the laboratory zero-velocity is found in the top half of the image
