Applications of Quantum Field Theory to Atomic Collisions and Chemical Reactions.

Abstract

Methods of quantum field theory will be applied to prediction of atomic and molecular collision and reaction phenomena. Emphasis will be on (a) reactive collisions such as D+H2yieldD+H+, D+H2yieldD+H+2, and A+BCyieldAB+C; (b) theory of resonance and transition states and their influence on such reactive processes and on scattering processes such as e+Hyielde+h; (c) electromagnetic absorption due to such transition states.
