Abstract

Dilation and boost transformations are used to study the nonlocal effective potentials in two-cluster atomic scattering below the lowest three-cluster threshold, where the particles interact via two-body Coulomb potentials and at least one cluster is neutral. Boost analyticity is used to express the rotated potential in a form that displays explicitly its behaviour for large values of the cluster separation. When one cluster is neutral, the nonlocal effective potential falls off, in some sense, as r−4 for large values of r, where r is the distance between the centres of mass of the two clusters. When both clusters are neutral, the nonlocal potential can be shown to fall off as r−5 for large values of r.
