Calculation of Fine Structure Effects in O+ -O and Other Collisions of Importance in the Upper Atmosphere

该项目将完成离子氧和中性氧散射的理论计算，并将所开发的方法推广到高层大气中的其他重要系统。 这项工作的第一个组成部分是研究O+和O之间的相互作用，这是高层大气中最重要的碰撞过程之一。 其次，PI将使用O+与O相互作用的耦合通道模型来计算系统的各种其他性质，这些性质可以与高精度光谱数据进行比较。

This project will complete theoretical calculations of the scattering of ionic and neutral oxygen and the extension of the methodology developed to other systems of importance in the upper atmosphere. The first component of the work is to study the interaction between O+ and O, one of the most important collision processes in the upper atmosphere. Secondly, the PI will use the coupled channel model for the interaction of O+ with O to calculate various other properties of the system that can be compared with high precision spectroscopic data.
