Notes:
A variational functional is introduced to calculate transition amplitudes. It satisfies microscopic reversibility and is independent of the overall phases of the wave functions. Using time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) states, constructed from MO-LCAOS and evolving forward and backward in time, we compare exact numerical results with results from the variational functional for collisions of He and He2+, obtained with a minimal basis set. Transition probabilities versus impact parameters and cross sections versus collision energies in the range of 30-100 keV are computed for elastic and two-electron transfer processes. The variational functional method leads to a substantial improvement over the standard TDHF results.
