14 motivation in brief theoretical aspects

15 motivation in brief theoretical aspects 3D free-space scattering theory is no longer valid and development of low-dimensional theory including influence of the trap is needed

16 What happens if atoms scatter in confined geometry (quasi-1d)? E What happens in collision of two distinguishable atoms in harmonic trap, or identical atoms in anharmonic trap? non-separable two-body problem
