[Star Wars] Why didn't the rebels go after Darth Vader's TIE fighter at the end of the Battle of Yavin?

They surely would have detected the lone escaping fighter. Even if they didn't know it was Vader's they should have thought better than to let it escape.

They were kind of fleeing the destruction of the Death Star and subsequently fleeing Yavin (like, immediately after the ceremony they start breaking things down to pack them up and ship out).

Plus, they've seen what Vader can do. Like single-handedly wiping out half of Phoenix Squadron. He is *not* to be underestimated, even in a damaged ship.
