Review text

\textit{G. Gasaneo}, \textit{F. D. Colavecchia}, and \textit{C. R. Garibotti} [Phys. Rev. A 55, 2809-2820 (1997)] obtained an approximate solution of the three body continuum Coulomb problem in terms of two variable hypergeometric functions \(\Phi_2\). \textit{L. Bess} [Phys. Rev., II. Ser. 77, 550-556 (1950; Zbl 0038.14203)] and \textit{A. Nordsieck} [Phys. Rev., II. Ser. 93, 785-787 (1954; Zbl 0055.21606)] obtained expressions for transition matrices of an ionization process in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. In this paper, a method of obtaining volume integrals involving confluent hypergeometric functions, which occur in the study of atomic collisions in Physics, is introduced and an analytic expression for the generalized Nordsieck's integral \[ J_1'=\int{dr\over r}e^{-2r+iq.r}I_1'I_2' \] where \(I_j'={_1F_1}(ia_j,1,ip_jr+ip_jr)\), is obtained. Some interesting cases of Nordsieck's integral are also given.
