Hyperspherical coordinate theory of two electron atomic processes. Performance report, 1 August 1984-31 July 1985
The aim of this project is to establish the ground work for state-of-the-art calculations employing hyperspherical coordinates. Such calculations require the solution of a number of current difficulties in treating different regions of hyperspherical coordinate space. Applications have also been made to specific atomic collision processes in those cases where a hyperspherical coordinate point of view helps to understand the underlying physical mechanisms. Work on the following seven specific problems has been completed: (1) Representation of two-electron wave functions for /sup 1/S states in terms of a Fock expansion has been accomplished and a procedure for matching these series solutions onto an adiabatic hyperspherical representation has been developed. (2) In regions of configuration space where one electron is much further from the nucleus than the other, the R-matrix has been shown to be asymmetric. (3) Also in this region, the transformation of the coupled adiabatic hyperspherical channels to independent particle coordinates has been derived. (4) A study of the Wannier threshold law in Jacobi coordinates has been completed. (5) The electron doubly differential cross section for 0.5 MeV H/sup -/-H detachment collisions has been calculated. (6) The hyperspherical coordinate description of doubly excited states has been compared with other correlated models. (7) The length, velocity, and acceleration formulas for the electric dipole matrix element in hyperspherical coordinates have been derived. 11 refs.
