Extended Data Fig. 3: Product rotational distributions and their correlations with the scattering angles at lower collision energies.
Calculated N2+ product rotational population distributions in the vibrational levels v′=1 (black) and 2 (red) at the COM collision energies of (a) 1.141 eV, (d) 0.820 eV and (g) 0.631 eV with the population of v′=2 multiplied by a factor of 10; the corresponding correlation contour maps between the N2+ product rotational population and the scattering angle for v′=1 are shown in (b), (e) and (h), respectively; the corresponding correlation contour maps between the N2+ product rotational population and the scattering angle for v′=2 are shown in (c), (f) and (i), respectively.
