Abstract
Classical calculations of molecular scattering from smooth surfaces show that multiple rainbow spikes in the rotational intensities may occur where the peaks correspond, respectively, to single, double, etc. collisions of the molecule with the repulsive potential. Unlike single collision rainbows, this effect may cause multiple peaks even for homonuclear diatomics.Keywords
