Semiclassical comparison of quasi-classical and quantum moments of distribution of state in molecular collisions

Abstract

State-to-state transition probabilities for molecular collisions are often computed from classical trajectories by equating quasi-classical and quantum moments of the final energy distributions and using some functional form to relate the transition probabilities to the quantum moments. The equality between quantum and quasi-classical moments in examined using semiclassical theory.
