Objective
The project addresses a fundamental issue of atomic and molecular physics involving excitation and decay of the states with several charged particles interacting in the continuum, and proposes a novel approach for obtaining quantitative information about the mechanisms of these processes. In particular, the project aims at studying the processes in which the electron correlations are especially prominent, such as electron impact near-threshold core excitation, double excitation and double ionisation in free atoms, molecules and solid states, including new effects: non-Rydberg doubly excited resonances(NRDER), intercore Auger effect(IAE) and reverse post-collision interaction(RPCI). The traditional one-electron quantum mechanical description of such systems fails and more sophisticated models are necessary taking into account the interaction of more than two particles explicitly. The basis for this study has already been established due to the previous activity of the project participants. A distinct feature of the project is a close collaboration between theory and experiment. To this aim the up-to-date experiments will be specifically designed and carried out using electron and VUV spectroscopy and various versions of coincidence counting techniques. A generalized random phase approximation (GRPA) as well as R-matrix theory will represent the theoretical background for the study. The project promises original and timely contributions to the detailed understanding of dynamics of correlated charged particles in the continuum. Furthermore, application of the results can be envisioned in a large array of disciplines, ranging from astrophysical plasmas to diagnostics and control of inhomogenities in solid states.
