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...
