285:. They calculated the scattering cross-sections for the processes of vibrational excitation, dissociative attachment, and associative detachment in slow electron collisions with various diatomic molecules. Additionally, Jiří Horáček developed methods of calculating scattering phase shifts, resonance parameters, low-energy expansions in the scattering theory, and solutions of the inverse scattering problem.

Although Jiří Horáček later pursued a different subject, violin has always been an important part of his life and he performs regularly with a music group Four and a Half or with friends. Every year he performs in
