Scientific paper

It is generally assumed that the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune are composed of hydrogen gas above cloud layers of other gases. Investigation of light scattering in the atmospheres of these planets is one way to gain detailed knowledge of atmospheric structure. An automated photon counting Raman spectrometer was used to determine relative rotational cross sections at 4880 and 5145 angstroms for pure hydrogen gas with initial states, J equals 0,1,2,3 and 4. The results differ from theoretical predictions by an amount which cannot be explained by experimental error. This discrepancy may cause reinterpretation of previous planetary scattering findings.
