The Few-Body Approximation in Nuclear,Atomic, and Molecular Physics

The quantum theory of few-body scattering based on Faddeev-Yakubovsky integral and differential equa¬tions is applied to calculations of various processes (elastic, inelastic, atom exchange, and dissociative) in nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics. Analytical solutions of these equations are presented for various limiting cases. The methods used for solving the integral and differential systems of equations are discussed.
