Measurements of inelastic collisions of F+ with Ne have been made. Transitions between 3P and 1D terms of F+ are seen, with the inelastically scattered ions sharply focused in the forward direction. Potential energy curves of (FNe)+ have been calculated. The 3Σ and 3Π curves correlating to F+(3P) are repulsive, while the 1Σ correlating to F+(1D) is attractive. Several curve crossings are identified, where transitions occur through spin-orbit coupling. Scattering angles and differential cross sections have been calculated, and they show the presence of a ‘‘glory’’ (or halo) effect, which accounts for the forward scattering of ions.
