A procedure has been developed to represent the critical propagation of wave functions on potential ridges by constructing and superposing approximate wave functions that represent Wannier's diverging and converging modes. This procedure also serves to represent optimized adiabatic propagation in potential valleys and is designed for application to reactive collisions as well as to spectra. The pilot studies of the effect of channel coupling in open valence shells has been completed very successfully. Its method is now available for application throughout the periodic system, to collisions as well as to spectra. Renewed analysis of the theory of atomic orientation by electron collisions is providing new insights.
