The J-matrix method: developments and applications

This volume aims to provide the fundamental knowledge to appreciate the advantages of the J-matrix method and to encourage its use and further development.The J-matrix method is an algebraic method of quantum scattering with substantial success in atomic and nuclear physics. The accuracy and convergence property of the method compares favourably with other successful scattering calculation methods. Despite its thirty-year long history new applications are being found for the J-matrix method. This book gives a brief account of the recent developments and some selected applications of the method in atomic and nuclearphysics. New findings are reported in which experimental results are comparedto theoretical calculations. Modifications, improvements and extensions of the method are discussed using the language of the J-matrix. The volume starts with a Foreword by the two co-founders of the method, E.J. Heller and H.A. Yamani and it contains contributions from 24 prominent international researchers. The first book dedicated to the J-matrix method A successful method to solve atomic and nuclear physics problems Comprehensive coverage of all theoretical features of the J-matrix method Foreword by the founders of the J-matrix method INDICE: From the contents Foreword. 1: Two of the Original Papers. 2: Theoretical and Mathematical Considerations. 3: Applications in Atomic Physics. 4:Applications in Nuclear Physics. 5: Other Related Methods: Chemical Physics Application.
