Three‐body resonance scattering of atom‐diatomic molecule systems involving internal excitations is discussed by fully allowing the topological phase (Berry phase) contribution. Earlier a generalized formalism ( Phys. Rev. A 1996 , 53 , 2433) of the three‐body resonance scattering was presented by introducing the gauge potential (Berry connection). Based on this study we provide additional information on topological importance in resonance scattering involving the atom‐diatomic molecule systems. The massive gauge field (Berry connection) contribution which arises from a broken symmetry is discussed. Its relevance to condensed matter physics will be briefly high lighted in connection with our recent theory of super conductivity ( Phys. Rev. B 1999 , 60 , 6324).
