Scattering Polarisation of the d-States of Ions and Solar Magnetic Field: Effects of Isotropic Collisions
Abstract
Analysis of solar magnetic fields using observations as well as theoretical interpretations of the scattering polarisation is commonly designated as a high priority area of the solar research. The interpretation of the observed polarisation raises a serious theoretical challenge to the researchers involved in this field. In fact, realistic interpretations need detailed investigations of the depolarising collisions.
