The Ar–HCl potential energy surface from a global map-facilitated inversion of state-to-state rotationally resolved differential scattering cross sections and rovibrational spectral data

A recently developed global, nonlinear map-facilitated quantum inversion procedure is used to obtain the interaction potential for Ar–HCl(v=0) based on the rotationally resolved state-to-state inelastic cross sections of Lorenz, Westley, and Chandler [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2, 481 (2000)] as well as rovibrational spectral data. The algorithm adopted here makes use of nonlinear potential→observable maps to reveal the complete family of surfaces that reproduce the observed scattering and spectral data to within its experimental error. A nonlinear analysis is performed on the error propagation from the measured data to the recovered family of potentials. The family of potentials extracted from the inversion data is compared to the Hutson H6(4,3,0) surface [Phys. Chem. 96, 4237 (1992)], which was unable to fully account for the inelastic scattering data [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2, 481 (2000)]. There is excellent agreement with H6(4,3,0) in the attractive well, where Hutson’s surface is considered most reliab...
