Restricted-basis-set calculations on atom-molecule collisions in external fields

ORAL

Abstract

Rigorous quantum scattering calculations on molecular collisions in external fields are computationally demanding due to the need to account for a large number of coupled channels. We show that by restricting the number of helicity states in the basis set, it is possible to obtain highly accurate quantum dynamical results for low-temperature atom-molecule collisions in a magnetic field at a reduced computational cost.
