Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Hartree Self Consistent Method for the Scattering of Positrons by Hydrogen Atoms

Our aim has been to develop a method whereby the self - consistent features of the Hartree approach can be incorporated into a form.for the wave function which will contain correlations and satisfy the asymptotic boundary conditions. We have accomplished this by adding a sum of products of one particle functions to a product of the unperturbed bound state wave function and a function which will have the proper asymp totic form for a scattered particle. By requiring the terms in the sum to vanish at large distances, we have been able to obtain a set of coupled differential equations for the one particle functions. We can show that these differential equations lead to an effective one-particle Hamiltonian for the scattered particle in which the potential is made up of a sum of induced multipole potentials. We can also show that with a suitable set of approximations, the equations reduce to the adiabatic approximation.

Excerpt from A Hartree Self Consistent Method for the Scattering of Positrons by Hydrogen Atoms

Refinements on the one product scheme have been proposed by and Temkin Seaton suggests that the total wave function be expanded as a series of terms consisting of solutions to the bound state problem with coefficients which depend on the coordinates of the scattered elec tron. However, since one can expect an infinite number of terms the series must be truncated in order to compute the coefficients. Having once computed the coefficients, there is no machinery for going back and improving the estimate of the bound state distortion. Temkin uses the adiabatic approximation to compute the distortion of the bound state. He assumes that the incident electron is moving so slowly that one can cousi der the atom to be in the field of a static charge. By means of pertur bation theory he is able to compute a distorted bound state wave function which depends parametrically on the position of the incident particle.
