A Theoretical Investigation of Atomic Structure and Scattering Processes

9400673 Rosenberg对原子系统的结构和散射、它们与辐射的相互作用以及与基本原子力，即所谓的“卡西米尔力”的研究将继续并扩展到新的物理情况。涉及变分原理、最小原理和半经典方法等的数学技术将被开发，以解决涉及远程力、激光物质相互作用和QED的问题。这些方法包括形式主义和计算的混合，对培养研究生和博士后在现代原子理论方面很有用。＊＊＊

9400673 Rosenberg Research in the structure and scattering of atomic systems, their interaction with radiation and with fundamental atomic forces, the so-called "Casimir forces" will be continued and extended to new physical situations. Mathematical techniques involving the formulation of variational principles, minimum principles, and semi-classical approaches etc. will be developed to attack problems involving long-range forces, laser-matter interactions and QED. The approaches involve a mix of formalism and computation useful for training graduate students and postdoctorals in modern atomic theory. ***
