Theory of Semiclassical Transition Probabilities for Inelastic and Reactive Collisions. V. Uniform Approximation in Multidimensional Systems

Abstract

An integral semiclassical expression for the S matrix of inelastic and reactive collisions was formulated earlier in this series. In the present paper a uniform approximation for the expression is derived for the case of multidimensional systems. The method is an extension of that employed in Part II for the case of one internal coordinate. The final result, Eq. (2), is highly symmetrical, thus making some of its properties immediately clear.
