Abstract
The positive-energy spectrum of the hydrogen atom in a magnetic field is deduced by making use of the complex-rotation method combined with Sturmian-type expansions. This yields the energies and widths of the resonances especially for fields of atomic interest. Accidental destructive interference generates ultranarrow resonances above the ionization threshold as experimentally observed.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
