What Does CS Stand For?

CS stands for Centrifugal Sudden Approximation

Centrifugal Sudden Approximation (CS) is a theoretical framework used in quantum mechanics to simplify the analysis of molecular dynamics by considering the effects of rotation in a sudden or instantaneous manner. This approximation allows for the decoupling of rotational and vibrational motions, facilitating calculations of energy levels and transition probabilities in systems where centrifugal forces play a significant role. CS is particularly valuable in understanding reaction dynamics and the behavior of molecules in high-energy environments.
