Abstract

Scattering theory for time dependent HamiltonianH(t)=−(1/2) Δ+ΣV j (x−q j (t)) is discussed. The existence, asymptotic orthogonality and the asymptotic completeness of the multi-channel wave operators are obtained under the conditions that the potentials are short range: |V j (x)|≦C j (1+|x|)−2−ε, roughly spoken; and the trajectoriesq j (t) are straight lines at remote past and far future, and |q j (t)−q k (t)| → ∞ ast → ± ∞ (jk).
