Popis: We report high-resolution differential cross sections at thermal energy for polarized, rotationally state-selected LiF on Ar. They were 2--8% larger with LiF in the J = abs. value of M = 1 orientation along the relative velocity than in the J=1 unpolarized state. The differential cross section in the present case is much more sensitive to change in polarization than is the total cross section. The high-frequency oscillations of the differential cross sections were found substantially independent of J when the present J=1 data were compared with non-state-selected data for J-bar = 15 or J-bar = 25.
