Abstract
Energy and angular dependences of differential cross sections for elastic scattering and vibrational excitation of the fundamental vibrations and some strongly excited overtones for OCS and CS2 are presented. The impact energy ranges from 0.3 to 5 eV and scattering angles are measured between 12.5 and 138 degrees . Integral elastic, vibrationally inelastic and total cross sections are tabulated. The total cross sections are compared with theoretical results of Lynch et al. (1979). With few exceptions good agreement is found. The differential cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering are compared with first Born approximations for dipole, quadrupole and polarisation potential interactions. A body-frame phaseshift analysis has been applied to the experimental data in the energy range below 1.2 eV.
