Abstract
The S-matrix of atom (electron)-diatom scattering is related to one- and two-particle field-theoretical amplitudes. Equations are obtained for generalized effective potentials describing the simultaneous excitation of both internal molecular degrees of freedom, and for targets in any initial vibro-rotational state. It is further shown that a combination of the present approach and of Rabitz' decoupling scheme (1972) can lead to a completely uncoupled description of the scattering process.Keywords
