Hydrogen atom resonances in strong magnetic fields by complex coordinate rotation and R-matrix methods
Abstract
Accurate energies and widths corresponding to the lowest m = 0 to m = -4 resonances of the hydrogen atom in strong magnetic fields (gamma = 10-1000) are calculated using the complex coordinate rotation and R-matrix methods. The accuracy of the calculations is estimated from the difference observed between the results of both methods. Advantages and drawbacks of the two methods are discussed.
