Rotational excitation in molecular collisions: A strong coupling approximation

A generalization of Takayanagi's fully quantum mechanical strong coupling approximation for rotationally inelastic collisions, valid for small energy exchange, is discussed and tested numerically on a model problem. The method is computationally very simple, and the results are most encouraging...
