Solvable model for inelastic collisions

Juan Gonzalo Muga, Robert F. Snider

Published Sep 1, 1994• 2 citations
Publisher

Abstract

An analytically solvable model is described for the inelastic collision of two particles moving in one dimension but having an orientation dependent interaction. The bound states and scattering matrix for this system are explicitly calculated.

A solvable model of two-channel scattering

Pavel Exner

A simple solvable model of two-channel inelastic scattering is constructed. The contact-type interaction is realized mathematically by a self-adjoint extension; if the interchannel interaction is switched off it reduces to one point interaction in each channel. The scattering matrix is calculated and the bound states and resonances are found in the weak-coupling case. The decay of the resonance state is also considered; it is shown that the asymptotic behaviour of the non-exponential corrections to the decay law depends substantially on the spectrum of the unperturbed system

An exactly solvable one-dimensional model for ionisation and charge transfer in ion-atom collisions

Werner Däppen

The time-dependent Schrodinger equation for a particle in one dimension in the field of two colliding delta potentials can be solved exactly. Assuming an initial state which is bound about the left delta potential for large negative times, the solution has been used to calculate the probabilities of finding a state bound about one of the potentials long after the collision. These probabilities are oscillating functions of the reciprocal velocity. The ionisation probability goes to zero for high collision velocities and reaches 1 / 2 for small velocities.

A family of many-body models which are exactly solvable analytically

Ivette Fuentes, Pablo Barberis-Blostein

We present a family of many-body models which are exactly solvable analytically. The models are an extended n-body interaction Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model which considers spin-flip terms which are associated with the interaction of an external classical field which coherently manipulates the state of the system in order to, for example, process quantum information. The models also describe a two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate with a Josephson-type interaction which includes n-particle elastic and inelastic collisions. One of the models corresponds to the canonical two-mode Bose-Einstein Hamitonian plus a term which we argue must be considered in the description of the two-mode condensate. Intriguingly, this extra term allows for an exact and analytical solution of the two-particle collision two-mode BEC problem. Our results open up an arena to study many-body system properties analytically.

Exactly solvable coupled-channel potential models of atom-atom magnetic Feshbach resonances from supersymmetric quantum mechanics

Andrey M. Pupasov-Maksimov, B. F. Samsonov, Jean-Marc Sparenberg

Starting from a system of $N$ radial Schr\"odinger equations with a vanishing potential and finite threshold differences between the channels, a coupled $N\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}N$ exactly solvable potential model is obtained with the help of a single nonconservative supersymmetric transformation. The obtained potential matrix, which subsumes a result obtained in the literature, has a compact analytical form, as does its Jost matrix. It depends on $N(N+1)/2$ unconstrained parameters and on one upper-bounded parameter, the factorization energy. A detailed study of the model is done for the $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2$ case: a geometrical analysis of the zeros of the Jost-matrix determinant shows that the model has zero, one, or two bound states, and zero or one resonance; a compact formula for the open-channel scattering length is obtained. As a first physical application, exactly solvable $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2$ atom-atom interaction potentials are constructed, for cases where a magnetic Feshbach resonance interacts with a bound or virtual state close to threshold, which results in a large background scattering length.
