• 1- Introduction, overview• 2- Hamiltonian of a diatomic
molecule• 3- Hund’s cases; Molecular
symmetries• 4- Molecular spectroscopy• 5- Photoassociation of cold atoms• 6- Ultracold (elastic) collisionsOlivier Dulieu
Predoc’ school, Les Houches,september 2004
Main steps:
• Definition of the exact Hamiltonian• Definition of a complete set of basis
functions• Matrix representation of finite
dimension+perturbations• Comparison to observations to
determine molecular parameters
