Abstract:
We show that the cross sections for molecule-molecule collisions in the presence of an external field can be computed efficiently using a total angular momentum basis, defined either in the body-fixed frame or in the space-fixed coordinate system. This method allows for computations with much larger basis sets than previously possible. We present calculations for (15)NH-(15)NH collisions in a magnetic field. Our results support the conclusion of the previous study that the evaporative cooling of rotationally ground (15)NH molecules in a magnetic trap has a prospect of success.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
