Notes:
The effects of orbiting resonances on elastic differential cross sections are investigated for the Lennard-Jones (12, 6) model potential. The elastic differential cross section consists of three terms: a resonance term, a potential scattering term and an interference term. The interference term has a significant effect only at small angles of the differential cross section. The importance of the potential scattering term depends proportionally upon the orbiting resonance energy. For the low-lying orbiting resonance states, the resonance term is the dominant term, but at higher energy it appears only in the backward differential cross sections. Generally, by fitting the large angle differential cross sections, the resonance orbital angular momentum can be estimated.
