Title:
Quantum Collision Theory for Photon Scattering from Atoms and Molecules
Report Date:
2021-08-02
Abstract:
Photon scattering and photoionization are fundamental processes that are central in modeling physical and technological problems occurring in spectroscopy, imaging, and communications. Starting from the fundamental principles of quantum electrodynamics we have developed a novel computational technique to study Rayleigh and Raman scattering and photoionization. This technique has been applied to study photon-induced processes in alkali atoms(Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs). A comprehensive set of cross sections has been determined for Rayleigh, Raman, and photoionization processes involving the ground and a large number of excited states of the atoms.
