Commands TURN and MINPOT


The command TURN invokes a simple search procedure to find the classical turning point for the potential which is defined by the POT subroutine which is linked in the currently executing scattering program. This information is useful in the determination of the starting point for the integration of the coupled equation, RSTART.

The turning point is estimated using the isotropic term in the potential and a centrifugal barrier of

The command MINPOT invokes a simple search procedure to find the minimum in the isotropic potential where XMU is the collision reduced mass in atomic units. Thus, to estimate the turning point of V(R) alone, without any centrifugal barrier, set JTOT1 = 0 before entering the command TURN.
