✦ Synopsis
An approximation
scheme is described which allows the decoupling ot' molecular rotational j and I angular momenta in molecular collisions. \Vith a particular choice or the interaction potential, the potential matri: couples only the moleculnr states of the system and in particular UIOS in which the ;.asis projection ofi ih conserved. Test calculations on He + H2 for the elastic j = 0 -0 and rotation;llly inelastic j = 0 4 2 diffcrcntinl cross sections arc prcsentcd in the energy range 0.1 to 0.9 eV. These rcwlts are compnrcd with the full coupled-channel cross .sections and arc found to be cstremcly accurate.
