Differential cross sections can be measured as a function of the internal state of a reaction product thanks to the analysis of the Doppler profile of the laser induced fluorescence detection line. This analysis is complicated by two effects: first, the LIF signal intensity depends on the interaction time of the molecule with the laser, and this time depends on the scattering angle, second, the angular and velocity distributions of the beams have non negligible widths. We present here a treatment of these effects in the case of the F
