Theoretical and computational methods in atomic and molecular physics

人们正在对原子和分子的电子结构进行理论和计算研究。通常的多电子原子的物理图像是电子在对原子核的吸引力和电子云产生的平均排斥力的作用下，在很大程度上独立运动。正在进行的研究涉及改进实现该模型的计算方法。这项工作还将涉及超越这种近似情况的相关效应。目前也在研究吸收或散射中子后原子的β衰变和加速等核转变对原子结构的影响

Theoretical and computational research is being conducted on the electronic structure of atoms and molecules.  The usual physical picture of a many- electron atom is of electrons moving largely independently under the attraction force to the nucleus and an average repulsive force produced by the electron cloud.  The research being conducted is concerned with improvement on the computational methods for implementing this model.  The work will also be concerned with correlation effects that go beyond this approximate picture. Research is also being conducted on the effects on atomic structure of nuclear transformations such as beta-decay and acceleration of the atom after absorption or scattering of a neutron
