U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: International Study on the Dynamics of Ionizing Collisions

0102243Olson这个美国-巴西项目奖为密苏里大学的Ronald E.Olson博士和巴西里约热内卢Pontifia大学的Geraldo M.Sigaud博士和Eduardo C.黑山博士在一项关于电离碰撞动力学的国际研究中的合作研究提供支持。这个合作研究项目结合了Olson博士的理论专长和Sigaud博士和黑山博士的实验专长和资源，以更好地理解快速重粒子碰撞中电子-电子和电子-离子相互作用的基本微妙之处。他们将开发动量光谱技术，这是理解原子碰撞研究中相互作用的相对重要性所必需的。这项研究的结果将使我们能够解释非常困难的电荷交换测量，并增加我们对自然界中许多碰撞过程的理解，例如在生物组织中的能量沉积过程，在与健康相关的应用中，在聚变能源开发和材料科学应用中。

0102243OlsonThis U.S.- Brazil Program award provides support for cooperative research between Dr. Ronald E. Olson, University of Missouri-Rolla and Drs. Geraldo M. Sigaud and Eduardo C. Montenegro of Pontificia University of Rio de Janeiro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in an international study on the dynamics of ionizing collisions.This collaborative research project combines the theoretical expertise of Dr. Olson and the experimental expertise and resources of Drs. Sigaud and Montenegro to develop a better understanding of the fundamental subtleties of electron-electron and electron-ion interactions in fast heavy particle collisions. They will develop momentum spectroscopy techniques that are needed to understand the relative importance of interactions in atomic collision studies. The results of this research will allow the interpretation of very difficult charge exchange measurements and increase our understanding of many collision processes in nature, such as energy deposition processes in biological tissue, in health-related applications, in fusion energy development and in material science applications.
