Summary: |
"The few-body problem (FBP), the essence of which is that the Schrödinger equation is not analytically solvable for more than two interacting particles even when the underlying forces are precisely known, remains one of the most fundamentally and yet unsolved problems in physics. Atomic collisions are ideally suited to study the FBP because the underlying force is essentially understood and because simple systems can be studied for which kinematically complete experiments are feasible. This book covers various experimental and theoretical approaches in atomic collision research and dissusses e.g. experiments with magneto-optical traps, the role of projectile coherence properties, collisions with anti-particles, and many other topics"--Back cover. |
