Abstract
A new classification scheme of angular momentum coherences based on the dynamical symmetry group O4 of hydrogen is proposed. The existence of a specific constant of motion, the Runge-Lenz vector, enables an extension of the Fano-Macek approach to mixed-l coherences observed in inelastic atomic collision processes. Using aSU(2) ×SU(2) pseudospin formulation a correspondence between the completen-shell density matrix and the expectation values of multipoles of the angular momentum and the Runge-Lenz vector is established. Explicit expressions are given forn=2 andn=3.
