Determination of collision induced polarizability in Ar, Kr, and Xe by means of collision induced scattering analysis and empirical pair potentials

We show that for the determination of the collision induced polarizability form in Ar, Kr, and Xe from the moment analysis of collision induced scattering it is of primary importance to choose a correct form for the pair interaction potential. We chose the empirical potentials determined by Barker and co-workers for our investigation, and we determined the polarizability forms from the available experimental data. We compare our argon results with theoretical many-body calculation of the polarizability.
