Abstract

In this chapter, arbitrary internal excitations of projectile and/or target are considered, which enables the description of inelastic scattering via the appropriate coupled-channel equations. The chapter contains the theory Feshbach resonances, as opposed to single-channel shape resonances, and an account of multichannel quantum-defect theory, which is a powerful tool for describing Coulombic systems with attractive interactions falling off as 1/r for large values of the projectile-target separation r.
