The ene10sed ~roeeedings of the NATO Advaneed Study Institute held
in September 1979 are intended to provide a eomprehensive
introduetion to the development of semie1assiea1 methods for
mo1eeu1ar seattering and speetroseopy over the past twenty years.
Progress in the seattering field may be taken to date from the
famous paper by Ford and Wheeler in 1959, and eoineidenta1ly the
RKR teehnique for diatomie speetroseopy was rediseovered at roughly
t~e' same time. Subsequent developments have e~hasised the insight
to be gained by eombining elassica1 and quant~ meehaniea1 ideas in
a wide variety of more eOMplicated problems. Three main types of
development may be recognised. First advances have oeeu~ed in
mathematical teehnique, both in the development of higher order
JWKB and phase integral expansions at dtscussed in chapters 1 and
3, and also in the use of uniform approximations to remove the
spurious singularities inherent in the primitive JWKB approaeh. The
latter are introduced in the conteat of elastic scattering in
Chapter 2, and later recur in other app1ieations in ehapters 4 and
5. A second development has been to extend semie1assiea1 ideas to
tunneling and curve-crossing situations. Here spectroscopic
applicati. ons of this type are covered in chapter 4, and
scattering situations are treated under the heading of
non-adiabatic transitions in chapter 6. Finally major progress hs.
s been made over the past ten years in the treatment of
non-separable situations.
