Termolecular Association and Laser-Assisted Electron-(Excited) Atom Collisions
Abstract
The objective of the present research is to formulate, develop and implement new theoretical descriptions of the following atomic and molecular processes: Laser-Assisted Collisions: A new theory of laser-assisted electron- (excited) atom collisions, in which the dressed states of the atom A in the laser field are closely coupled and the Volkov states of the projectile electron in the laser field are included; Termolecular Recombination: The transport- collisional set of Master equations for Termolecular Recombination, A + B + M yields AB + M as a function of gas density has been developed by M. R. Flannery. Angular Momentum Changes in Collisions with excited atoms: Work is progressing on the cross sections for angular momentum changes, in heavy-particle and electron-atom (e-B) collisions where the target atom is initially in an excited state.
