Macek, J; Starace, A F

The main focus is the theoretical study of the effect of electron correlations on atomic collision processes. The theoretical approaches taken are primarily those based on the hyperspherical coordinate description of many body systems. A major aim of the project is to lay the ground work for state-of-the-art calculations of collision cross sections using hyperspherical coordinate methods. In addition, applications are made to specific atomic collision processs relevant to energy-related research in those cases where a hyperspherical coordinate point of view can significantly contribute to understanding the underlying physical mechanisms. 28 refs., 1 fig.
