RMT Code: Overview

Welcome to the RMT project. RMT (R-matrix with time-dependence) is an application for solving the time-dependent Schrodinger Equation for a single atom, ion or molecule in a laser field.

RMT is part of the UK-AMOR suite of codes for tackling problems in Atomic Molecular and Optical physics problems with the Rmatrix approach.

UK-AMOR is a High End Computing consortium, funded by the EPSRC under grant number EP/R029342/1 and supported by CCPQ and ARCHER.

More information on the UK-AMOR project can be found here.

The orginal manuscript describing the method can be found here, a manuscript describing the extension of RMT to describe dynamics in arbitrarily polarised light fields here. A PDF overview of the code can be found here, although most of the information therein can be found in these pages

Additional documentation describing various aspects of running the code can be found below:
