U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Two or More Electron Processes in Ion Atom Collisions at Low, Intermediate and High Impact Velocities

这个为期三年的奖项支持美国-法国在德克萨斯农工大学和波尔多大学的研究小组之间在理论物理方面的合作研究。该团队由约翰·f·雷丁（美国）和罗伯特·e·加耶（法国）领导。主要目的是研究离子原子碰撞的基本过程。这些过程在融合和生物学中灭绝率的研究中具有重要的实际意义。研究人员将关注两个电子问题，其中两个或多个电子主动改变其状态。该项目得益于美国研究人员在离子原子过程方面的互补专业知识和法国在分析高能方法方面的专业知识。

This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in theoretical physics between research groups at Texas A & M University and the University of Bordeaux. The teams are led by John F. Reading (U.S.) and Robert E. Gayet (France). The main objective is to study fundamental processes of ion-atom collisions. These processes are of practical importance in Fusion and in studies of extinction rates in Biology. The investigators will focus on two electron problems in which two or more electrons actively change their states. The project benefits from the complementary expertise of the U.S. investigators in ion-atom processes and French expertise in analytical high energy methods.
