Abstract
Angular distributions of HCl scattered off Kr have been measured at collision energiesE ranging from 66.3 to 208.7 meV. The curves exhibit a clearly resolved damped rainbow structure. In addition time-of-flight distributions of scattered HCl were measured indicating significant energy transfer. To a part of these data (E=99 meV) the parameters of the M5 potential energy surface of Hutson and Howard [3] were fitted using the infinite order sudden approximation (IOSA) and quasi classical trajectories (QCT). A comparison of QCT and IOSA results suggests applicability of the IOSA to the present system atE=99 meV. We find a well depth of −31.8 meV (compared to Hutson and Howard's value of −26.5 meV) at the collinear Kr ... HCl conformation and strong indication for the existence of a secondary potential minimum at the collinear Kr ... ClH conformation. The analysis of the angular distributions based on a one channel scattering calculation leads to an isotropic potential similar to the full potential energy surface cut along the 90°-conformation rather than to the spherical average or spherical limit of the surface.
