Keith Burnett Group:
Cold collision reference library

Please note: The purpose of this reference library is mainly to allow the members of our group to access the references that we find useful, especially during visits to institutions outside Oxford - less paper to carry along. Hence the choice and classification of the articles follow our needs. We do, however, take suggestions for additions and re-classifications quite happily, especially if they come by e-mail and are written in the appropriate HTML format (which you can see if you save this page as an html file). And of course, we do not guarantee that the information provided here is absolutely correct.
