Abstract

The optical-potential method (OPM) developed in the previous paper is applied to the calculation of a large manifold of transitions of the type ʋ = 1, j, mj→ύ=0, j',mj in Li + N2 collisions. Trends related to the dependence of the cross section συ,j, mj→ύ, j, mj on the states j, j’ and mj are observed and analysed in terms of the physical effects involved. An information-theoretic model of the cross sections is tested as a means for a simple parametric representation of the results.
