Inelastic and multichannel quantum scattering (81U35) (n)-body potential quantum scattering theory (81U10)

Abstract: At high energies, in particle-capture processes between ions and atoms, classical kinematic requirements show that generally double collision Thomas processes dominate. However, for certain mass-ratios these processes are kinematically forbidden. This paper explores the possibility of capture for such processes by triple or higher order collision processes.
