Abstract
Exact S matrix elements are presented for atom‐rigid rotor scattering for transitions between the j = 6, 8, and 10 rotational states. Enough channels are included in the close coupling scheme to ensure convergence. It is found that one may neglect the lower lying rotational states if one is interested only in S matrix elements for transitions between excited states.Keywords
