Scattering Processes Involving Low-Energy Electrons

对H2和N2等简单分子的低能振动和旋转激发的理论处理研究，对于基本理解电子与分子靶标的相互作用是必要的。此外，将启动一个涉及里德伯原子与稀有气体碰撞的新项目，以研究排列和取向对低能截面行为的影响。＊＊＊

9408977 Morrison Research into the theoretical treatment of low energy vibrational and rotational excitation of simple molecules such as H2 and N2 needed for a fundamental understanding of the interactions of electrons with molecular targets will be pursued. In addition, a new project involving the collision of Rydberg atoms with noble gases will be initiated to study the effects of alignment and orientation on the behavior of low-energy cross sections. ***
