The absolute determination of the rotational coupling range from diffraction fringes

We present strong evidence of the experimental observation of Fraunhofer diffraction effects in differential cross sections of Li + ions scattered by K atoms. The fringes can be explained to be due to the sharp edges of the rotational coupling mechanism and can be compared to the Fraunhofer diffract...

Summary:We present strong evidence of the experimental observation of Fraunhofer diffraction effects in differential cross sections of Li + ions scattered by K atoms. The fringes can be explained to be due to the sharp edges of the rotational coupling mechanism and can be compared to the Fraunhofer diffraction from an annular diaphragm.
