Extract

The same perturbation method is found to be valid for a gentle mutual potential between free atom and vibrator as for an infinitely steep mutual potential, provided that the reduced mass of the system is sufficiently small.

A simplified method is discussed for the calculation of transition probabilities. This method is used to calculate the effect of a van der Waals' attractive field.
