We describe an effective method for calculating bound-to-continuum cross-sections for charged binary systems by… more Full Text: Heavy Rydberg Photo-dissociation Cross-section Calculations and Experimental Progress Towards Cold Collisions in Lithium TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada c 2013 Lisa Madeleine Ugray, some rights reserved.
