U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Collision Dynamics of Doubly Excited Atoms and Other Coulombic Three Body Systems

该奖项支持杜兰大学的James McGuire教授和东京电子通信大学的Michio Matsuzawa教授之间为期两年的合作研究项目。参与该项目的还有美国堪萨斯州立大学的林C.D.教授和美国阿贡国家实验室的木村敏雄博士，以及日本筑波大学和京都大学的几位科学家。目标是继续进行原子和分子碰撞方面的研究。研究结果将在美国、日本和欧洲的几个实验设施中进行测试。杜兰大学和筑波大学的研究小组将继续计算光子对氦的双重电离，以进一步了解少数电子原子过程的动力学。堪萨斯州立大学、电子通信大学、筑波大学和京都大学的研究小组将研究少数电子原子的结构和动力学。阿贡国家实验室和电子通信大学的研究小组将研究双激发态的形成。这些结果有望解决一些矛盾，澄清对原子和分子动力学中少电子效应性质的理解，并产生新的计算机代码，用于评估少电子和多电子系统的性质。

This award supports a two-year collaborative research project between Professor James McGuire of Tulane University and Professor Michio Matsuzawa, The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo. Also involved in the project are Professor C.D. Lin of Kansas State University and Dr. Mineo Kimura of Argonne National Laboratory in the United States and several scientists from the University of Tsukuba and Kyoto University in Japan. The goal is to continue research underway in atomic and molecular collisions. The results of the studies will be tested at several experimental facilities in the United States, Japan, and Europe. The groups at Tulane and the University of Tsukuba will continue calculations of double ionization of helium by photons to further understanding of the dynamics of few electron atomic processes. The groups at Kansas State and the University of Electro- Communications as well as the University of Tsukuba and Kyoto University will work on the structures and the dynamics of few electron atoms. The groups at Argonne and the University of Electro-Communications will study the formation of doubly excited states. The results are expected to resolve some conflict and clarify understanding of the nature of few-electron effects in atomic and molecular dynamics and produce new computer codes useful for evaluating properties of few and many electron systems.
