Nuclear excitations and reaction mechanisms

Research concerning nuclear excitations and reaction mechanisms is described. Among the various subjects discussed are: photon scattering, consistency condition between seagull quadrapole terms and the absorption sum rule, Raman scattering to negative-parity states, non-local terms due to exchange and retardation effects in charge-transfer equations, consistency and meaning of various approximate channel coupling array equations, derivation of equations used in empirical nuclear reaction analyses, multi-cluster n-particle scattering theory, converged molecular bound state calculations, and WKB-type approximation in angular momenta for central potentials.
