The resolution of the supernumerary rotational rainbow structure in state-to-state differential cross sections for Na/sub 2/-Ne collisions which had been predicted by infinite-order-sudden theory. These data, by proving the existence of such structure in quantitative agreement with infinite-order-sudden theory, answer one of the major remaining questions in the physics of rotationally inelastic scattering.
