Spin-Exchange Scattering.
Abstract
During the first six years of this contract, the research program became progressively broader. The original thrust of the research was directed toward the quantum mechanical description of spin-exchange scattering and its role in understanding the forces between paramagnetic atoms. This naturally led to the study of other atomic collision problems, for example electron-hydrogen scattering, and to consideration of collections of atoms in the gaseous state. From there it was natural to also study collisions in the plasma state and applications to astrophysics. Finally, in light of possibly the most important recent discovery in astrophysics, the pulsars, the latest research carried out under this program has dealt with the theory of neutron stars. (Author)
