Abstract
General expressions are derived for the complex scattering phases, with allowance for change in the relative velocity of the partners within the Franck-Condon region. A value is deduced for the cross section for elastic scattering with dissociative charge transfer. The scattering of K atoms by Br2 molecules is considered as an example.
