The convergent close coupling method and its application to electron-atom/ion scattering

The talk will discuss a method of solving the Schrodinger equation for electron-atom/ion scattering which has proven to be outstandlingly successful in the past five years when applied to one and two electron valence shell atoms. The method employs a discretisation of the target Hamiltonian in a subspace of functions which can be extended to completeness in principle. This enables the target continuum to be represented by states. The close coupling equations are formed by folding and integrating over the target state coordinates, thus yielding a coupled set of equations in one coordinate. Ionisation processes can be modelled and extracted from these equations. A brief outline of the model and reasoning is presented followed by several illustrations with experiment.
