The giant glory effect in atomic collisions: calculations for Na-I scattering

V N Ostrovsky

Show affiliations


The giant glory effect discovered in 1973 by Demkov and Los is considered for Na-I scattering. The cut-off Coulomb potential for a certain collision energy produces the ideal giant glory, i.e. total and exact backscattering in the classical approximation. For a real atomic system with its somewhat distorted potential, the scattering is characterized by superposition of rainbow and backscattering glory. The resulting complex interference structure is calculated in the semiclassical approximation.
