Coherence and Correlation in Atomic Collisions

Abstract

Threshold and pseudothreshold excitation of diatomic molecules are considered. In particular it is shown that certain geometrical factors, which suggest a preferential population of particular magnetic substates, can be separated from the excitation amplitudes. The case of excitation is discussed in detail.
