U.S.-Hungary Research on Electron Ejection in Ion-Atom Collisions (Physics)

美国-匈牙利合作研究项目由田纳西大学的伊万·塞林博士和匈牙利科学院核研究所的德内斯·贝莱尼博士共同开展，主要目标是研究在离子-原子碰撞中，光离子向连续态的电子转移。除了在理论物理方面取得预期的基本成就外，共同努力还应对仪器依赖效应作出有用的、定量的和定性的定义。这种效应的知识将有助于澄清在脉冲近似计算和不对称数据中存在的分歧，这是该科学研究领域的关键因素。该理论物理项目通过使美国和东欧的专家在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的人才，汇集资源和共享研究设施，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标。

The primary objective of this U.S.-Hungary Cooperative research project between Dr.Ivan Sellin of the University of Tennessee and Dr. Denes Berenyi with the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences is to study electron transfer to continuum states by light ions in ion-atom collisions. In addition to expected fundamental achievements in theoretical physics, the joint effort should yield useful, quantitative and qualitative definition of apparatus-dependent effects. Knowledge of such effects will help clarify existing disagreements in impulse approximation calculations and asymmetry data, which are key factors in this field of scientific investigation. This project in theoretical physics fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementing talents, pool resources, and share research facilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
