K. Ganesan et M. Lakshmanan, APPLICABILITY OF BRODY DISTRIBUTION IN THE STUDY OF QUANTUM CHAOS OF THE HYDROGEN-ATOM IN A GENERALIZED VAN-DER-WAALS POTENTIAL, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 27(13), 1994, pp. 2809-2820
The study of quantum manifestations of chaos in a generalized van der
Waals potential can be carried out using the SO(4, 2) group theoretica
l approach. We discuss certain salient features of using the method. B
y analysing some of the recently introduced measures such as the cumul
ative spacing distribution, T-function and U-function, we demonstrate
the efficacy of using the Brody distribution in this problem.
