Title:Resonance phenomena in quantum mechanical collision processes:How they emerge in atomic and molecular physics Speaker: Dr.ISAO SHIMAMURA Affiliation: RIKEN Atomic Physics Laboratory Schedule: TUE 16th DEC2014, AM11:00-12:00 Place: Room NISHINA HALL Language: English Abstract: theoretically. In electron-molecule collisions, in particular,the dynamic coupling between electronic and nuclear motions results in rich physics owing to the breakdown of the adiabatic approximation. Furthermore, recent developments in the study of ultracold quantum gases have led to magnetic control of resonances in atom-atom collisions to occur at extremely low energies, thus controlling the physical properties of ultracold gases.
