22. The labels X2P3/2, X2P1/2, v, and j indicate the electronic states, the vibrational state, and the rotational state of both the OH and the NO radical, respectively. The spectroscopic symmetry labels e and f refer to the total parity of the electronic wave function, exclusive of rotation. The total inversion parity is indicated by the additional labels + and -.

28. It was verified that all scattered molecules are detected with equal probability, and no density-to-flux correction was needed to relate the measured scattering signals to relative inelastic cross sections. See supplementary materials for more information.

32. The OH-NO spin states with S = 0 and S = 1 are not distinguished in our model; the 4 x 4 matrices for each spin state are therefore identical.
33. Although the quadrupole moment vanishes in the j = 1/2 state of NO, the quadrupole moment in the molecular frame contributes to the collisions producing NO states with j = 3/2 and 5/2 that yield important contributions to the measured cross sections.
