3.3.8 Scattering (Phase Shift Analysis) .....................


3.104 Let the total wave function be


ψ=ψi+ψs (1)
whereψirepresents the incident wave andψsthe scattered wave.
In the absence of potential, the incident plane wave
ψi=Aeikz=eikz (2)
where we have dropped off A to choose unit amplitude.
Assume

ψs=

f(θ)eikr
r

(3)

which ensures inverse square r dependence of the scattered wave from the
scattering centre.
σ(θ)=|f(θ)|^2 (4)
f(θ) being the scattering amplitude.
We can write (1)

ψ=eikrcosθ+

f(θ)eikr
r

(5)

or
fθ=re−ikr(ψ−eikrcosθ)(6)
Ltr→∞
The azimuth angleφhas been omitted inf(θ) as the scattering is assumed
to have azimuthal symmetry. In the absence of potentialψiis the most
general solution of the wave equation.
