New Adiabatic and Semiclassical Methods

支持J. Macek和S. Ovchinnikov合作研究绝热近似和半经典理论之间的联系。短期目标是利用苏联人开发的近似解析解来研究原子中的高里德伯态。这项工作的长期目标是利用费曼传播算子技术建立半经典理论与耦合通道绝热方程的半经典解之间的联系。

Support is provided for a collaboration between J. Macek and S. Ovchinnikov to examine the connection between the adiabatic approximation and semiclassical theory. A short term goal is to exploit the approximate analytic solutions developed by the Soviets to study high Rydberg states in atoms. The long range goal of the work is to establish connections between semiclassical theory, using Feynman's propagator techniques and the semiclassical solutions of the coupled channel, adiabatic equations.
