The theory of atom---diatomic-molecule collisions has been extended to include the coupling between open-and closed-channel states by means of the effective-Hamiltonian method as developed by Feshbach. The results have been used to discuss in detail compound-state resonances at energies below the first excitation threshold. Calculations are presented for the Xe+H₂ and Xe+D₂ systems. They suggest that compound-state resonances may be observable in molecular-beam experiments. These resonances are found to depend primarily upon the short-range anisotropic part of the interaction potential.
