Scattering by a Central Potential

Iraj R. Afnan

Abstract

With the central role played by scattering in any measurement on a quantum system, in this chapter we introduce the basic formulation of scattering theory for a central potential. As a simple application we consider scattering by a square-well, as well as the scattering by a Coulomb potential.
