Rearrangement collisions in atomic physics

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Atomic collisions are ubiquitous and form the basis of many sciences and technologies including the emerging nano-, quantum computing and bio-technologies. We are responsible for a major breakthrough in the treatment of such collisions, and are increasing their complexity and scale to meet the demand of practical applications. The most common collisions in many physical and life sciences are of the rearrangement type. We propose to study the prototype positron-atom collision system followed by the ion-atom and molecule systems which are the building blocks of the emerging and many existing sciences and technologies.
