Abstract

Recurrence relations among all allowed radial matrix elements for Coulomb excitation are derived by making use of a first order matrix differential equation for the nonrelativistic point Coulomb radial wave functions. Explicit recurrence relations that involve a change by one unit of any one of the angular momentum labels are given for the cases of the point Coulomb matrix elements, the indefinite integral from some radius $R$ to infinity, and the point Coulomb matrix elements with retardation.
