Abstract
Differential cross section measurements of atom‐diatomic molecule scattering were made for the colliding pairs Ar+N2,Ar+O2,Kr+N2, and Kr+O2. Potential parameters were obtained for various Lennard‐Jones (n, 6) potentials and it was found that the Lennard‐Jones (20, 6) and (12, 6) potentials gave best agreement to the angular locations of the rainbow extrema.
