Abstract

The scattering properties regarding the rotational degrees of freedom of a molecular ion in the presence of a buffer gas of helium are investigated. This study is undertaken within the framework of the infinite-order sudden approximation for rotational transitions, which is shown to be applicable to a large variety of molecular ions in a buffer gas of helium at fairly low temperatures. The results derived from the present approach have potential applications in cold chemistry and molecular quantum logic spectroscopy.
