Fig. 4

Scattering images for inelastic collisions of NO (j = 1/2f) radicals with Ne atoms. The left column shows the raw experimental scattering images for NO-Ne collisions, exciting the NO radicals (from top to bottom) to the (j=1/2e), (3/2e), (5/2f), (5/2e), (7/2e), (11/2e) and (15/2e) states. The images that result from full simulations of the experiment, using the differential cross sections from quantum scattering calculations based on ab initio potential energy surfaces as inputs, are shown in the right column. The image for the final state (11/2e) contains a second component near forward scattering, due to overlapping REMPI transitions (see also ref. [2])
