DIRAC: A new version of computer algebra tools for studying the properties and behavior of hydrogen-like ions |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
During recent years, the Dirac package has proved to be an efficient tool for studying the structural properties and dynamic behavior of hydrogen-like ions. Originally designed as a set of Maple procedures, this package provides interactive access to the wave and Green's functions in the non-relativistic and relativistic frameworks and supports analytical evaluation of a large number of radial integrals that are required for the construction of transition amplitudes and interaction cross sections. We provide here a new version of the Dirac program which is developed within the framework of Mathematica (version 6.0). This new version aims to cater to a wider community of researchers that use the Mathematica platform and to take advantage of the generally faster processing times therein. Moreover, the addition of new procedures, a more convenient and detailed help system, as well as source code revisions to overcome identified shortcomings should ensure expanded use of the new Dirac program over its predecessor. |
