Total differential scattering cross sections for hydrogen scattered from nitrogen and hydrogen fluoride

In‐plane total differential scattering cross sections for H2 scattered from N2 and HF are reported. The data are analyzed in terms of spherical and anisotropic potentials using single channel and IOS methods for calculating the differential cross sections. In the case of H2/HF the diffraction oscillations are highly damped at small angles, suggesting that the anisotropy is large.
