Hyperspherical Coordinate Formulation of the Electron—Hydrogen Atom Scattering Problem

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 170))

Abstract

A formulation is presented for the use of hyperspherical coordinates and local hyperspherical surface functions in the electron-hydrogen atom scattering problem. Some representative numerical results of the application of this formulation are given.
