Abstract
A method is given for the deconvolution of measured differential cross sections to yield the correct center-of-mass cross sections, free of laboratory averaging. An input showing well-resolved oscillations, as observed in diffraction scattering of light atoms, is assumed. Both velocity and angular experimental averaging are allowed for. To deconvolute energy-fixed data a "scaling law" for the differential cross section is used. A method for the extraction of a sufficiently accurate scaling relation from experiment is described. Several numerical illustrations of the scheme are given, including the deconvolution of the elastic cross section for the Ne+D2 system.
