Abstract

Before considering the scattering by a system of ZRPs we shall investigate the general case of a scatterer described by a non-spherical potential operator V (แนŸ) . We shall assume that V is Hermitian and time independent and that its magnitude falls off rapidly as r โ†’ โˆž. Under these assumptions stationary scattering of waves or particles is described by the equation

$$\rm (- {1\over 2}\nabla^2-{1\over 2} k^2+ v)\ \psi=0.$$
