Abstract
Moment techniques have recently been shown to be useful in ab initio calculation of atomic and molecular continuum processes. We illustrate these methods in a discussion of the photoeffect in hydrogen (H) and H−, and in a discussion of e+−H scattering. As further illustrations of the utility of moments in non-relativistic scattering we consider their use in extracting information from classical trajectory treatments of molecular collisions, and their phenomenological application in correlating experimental data via the “information theory” approach of Bernstein and Levine.
