Abstract
The authors show that circuit-dependent adiabatic phase factors occur naturally in the phase integral theory of atomic collisions, being a physical manifestation of the Stokes phenomenon familiar in asymptotic analysis. This implies a generalisation of Berry's work (1984) on geometric phase factors for situations involving adiabatic parallel transport around closed circuits in the complex plane.Keywords
