Exchange Scattering in a Three-Body Problem (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore a rigorous look at how quantum particles scatter in a three-body system. This edition analyzes how electrons interact with a hydrogen atom, deriving boundary conditions and exploring the behavior of eigenfunctions in both discrete and continuous energy spectra.

In clear, accessible steps, the book lays out the mathematical framework that underpins scattering theory. It connects the total Hamiltonian, its components, and the role of auxiliary variables in forming a complete description of the system. The text also discusses how asymptotic forms reveal outgoing waves and exchange probabilities after a collision.

• How the total energy, Hamiltonians, and interactions shape scattering outcomes.


• The construction and interpretation of eigenfunctions for complex, multi-particle systems.


• Boundary conditions that model incident and scattered waves in quantum collisions.


• How the exchange probability is defined and what it means for post-collision states.
