This review deals with quantitative descriptions of electronic transitions in atom-atom and
ion-atom collisions. In one type of description, the nuclear motion is treated classically or …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on quantitatively reliable close-coupling
treatments of slow and heavy-particle atomic collisions. The chapter explains the dynamics …

The theory of atom-molecule collisions is one of the basic fields in chemi cal physics. Its
most challenging part-the dynamics of chemical reactions-is as yet unresolved, but is …

The physics of highly charged ions has become an essential ingredient of many modern
research fields, such as x-ray astronomy and astrophysics, con trolled thermonuclear fusion …

Collisions of very heavy ions at energies close to the Coulomb barrier are discussed as a
unique tool to study the behavior of the electron-positron field in the presence of strong …

A critical analysis is presented for three different methods which introduce translation factors
in the molecular approach to atomic collisions. Unlike other contributions in this field …

We present an introduction to the application of ab initio methods of Quantum Chemistry to
the molecular model of atomic collisions. This includes the choice and calculation of …

The basis and workings of a very useful technique in the treatment of atomic collisions is
explained, which is the introduction of a common translation factor in the framework of close …

We have measured the electron emission yields γ of clean aluminum under bombardment
with H+, H 2+, D+, D 2+, He+, B+, C+, N+, N 2+, O+, O 2+, F+, Ne+, S+, Cl+, Ar+, Kr+, and …
