U.S.-Argentina Cooperative Research: Emission of Continuum Radiation in Collisions

该奖项由美国-阿根廷合作科学计划颁发，支持由匹兹堡大学的理查德·h·普拉特博士和阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯天文与空间科学研究所的何塞·e·米拉格利亚博士进行的理论物理学合作研究。该项目的重点将是研究在电子和离子原子碰撞过程中连续辐射（轫致辐射）的发射理论。本工作将探讨势辐射和极化辐射机制的相对作用，以及它们如何随弹丸而变化。结果将有助于确定实验调查的情况。该项目允许两名国际公认的研究人员合作。

This award from the U.S.-Argentina Cooperative Science Program supports collaborative research in theoretical physics to be conducted by Dr. Richard H. Pratt of the University of Pittsburgh and Dr.Jose E. Miraglia of the Instituto de Astronomia y Fisica del Espacio (IAFE) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The focus of the project will be the study of the theory of emission of continuum radiation (bremsstrahlung) during electron- and ion-atom collisions. The work will probe the relative roles of potential radiation and polarization radiation mechanisms, and how they vary with projectile. The results will help to identify situations for experimental investigation. The project allows the collaboration of two internationally recognized investigators.
