Abstract

A perturbative treatment in the adiabatic representation, which considers the Coriolis transition, and connects to the impact parameter Born theory at large impact parameters, is formulated and applied to the rotational excitation of the HDO molecule by ion collisions. By this method, the collision dynamics at large impact parameters are described much better than by the impact parameter Born theory. At very low energies, however, the collision dynamics are better described by neglecting the Coriolic transition.
