Nonlocal Theory of Resonance Electron-Molecule Scattering

Abstract

The theory of nuclear dynamics of electron-molecule collisions is summarized. The authors focus on the separation of the electronic Hilbert space into the discrete state and the continuum and on the derivation of the equations describing the nuclear dynamics.

They also discuss numerical methods for solving these equations.
