Scattering experiments in which two beams nearly co-propagate allow broadly tunable collision energies and can enable cold collisions. Now, such experiments have been combined with the preparation of NO molecules using stimulated emission to generate highly vibrationally excited states for state-to-state scattering studies, testing the theoretical gold standard in a regime not found in nature.
