Abstract
Total cross sections of velocity selected HD beams scattered by the inert gases in a scattering chamber have been measured in the velocity range from 300 to 3500 m/sec. No effects of the HD asymmetry are visible; the potential parameters obtained are, to within the error limits, the same as those for the H2 and D2-inert gas systems. The glory structure of all the H2, HD, and D2-inert gas systems can be fitted relatively well using the Lennard-Jones-(12,6)-potential. This does not necessarily provide a valid information about the actual potential shape for these systems, it can also be a result of the small “potential well capacity” parametersB of these systems, since for decreasingB values the absolute glory amplitude becomes more and more insensitive to potential shape changes, as can be seen from both semiclassical and exact calculations.
