Theory of atom-diatom rearrangement collisions based on the coupled-channel Born approximation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

Based on the first Born approximation and coupled-channel wave functions, a full three-dimensional treatment of state-to-state reactive scattering (rearrangement collision) has been made to derive explicitly the transition amplitude, differential cross section, and total cross section for atom-diatomic molecule systems. The present cripled-channel Born-approximation method will serve as a generalization of the distorted-wave Born-approximation method that we discussed elsewhere.
