Abstract
We report the first results from a new experimental apparatus designed for the general investigation of energy transfer in molecule-surface scattering. The translational energy dependence of the rotational temp erature of C2H2 scattered from LiF(100) has been measured, yielding re sults which are different from any data of this type previously report ed. Our preliminary interpretation of the results is in terms of vibra tional excitation with increasing incident translational energy.
