Atomic & Molecular Collision Data

                                  

                                        

 

Kinema Research performs consulting for customers on atomic and molecular collision data.

Dr W. L. Morgan has assembled over 30 years an extensive collection of electron and atomic and molecular collision data. This includes the entire database and 22,000 microfiche bibliographic collection (from the time of J. J. Thomson to about 1990) of the former Atomic Collisions Data Center of the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA).

References (1)-(3) are reviews of electron collision data that we have published.

Other areas of atomic and molecular collision, in which we have expertise, that are necessary to plasma chemistry modeling are

  • Ion-molecule & ion-ion collisions [See References (4)-(8)]
  • Reaction dynamics [9]
  • Surface physics [See References (10)-(12)]
  • Radiative Transfer
  • Range and stopping power (dE/dx) of electrons, protons, neutrons, nuclei, x-rays, and gamma-rays.
