Absolute differential cross sections for charge-transfer scattering of H{sup +} and He{sup +} from molecules are reported over the laboratory angular range 0.02{degree}--1.0{degree}. Cross sections have been determined at 0.5, 1.5, and 5.0 keV for collisions of H{sup +} with N{sub 2} and O{sub 2}, and at 1.5 keV for collisions of H{sup +} with CO, CO{sub 2}, NO, and CH{sub 4}, and of He{sup +} with H{sub 2}, N{sub 2}, O{sub 2}, CO, and NO. The data exhibit considerable structure over the experimental angular range. Absolute integral cross sections from 0{degree} to 1.0{degree} have been obtained and are compared with the published total cross sections.
