Atomic Collision Theory.
Abstract
The work of the LSU theoretical atomic physics group under this contract was directed originally toward the computation of rotational-vibrational cross sections for electron impact excitation of H2 and toward the development and improvement of calculational techniques. This theme remained dominant but variations and extensions to diverse topics were developed such as a study of autodetaching states of negative ions or the effect of strong magnetic fields on atoms. In addition, attention was directed towards the calculation of cross sections for electron excitation of oxygen and copper, atoms important in the upper atmosphere of the earth and in laser development, respectively. The major thrust of work involved calculations on rotational-vibrational excitation of molecules D2, H2, and HCl.
