An attempt is made to clarify the structure of pion-nucleus scattering taking into account the fact that the pions in scattering and in nuclear forces are identical. To understand the essential points, a simple pion plus two- nucleon system is chosen. The processes considered are $pi$NN $Yields$ $pi$NN and $pi$NN reversible NN. Both relativistic and nonrelativistic approaches are adopted. In the relativistic approach Taylor's method is used, whereas in the nonrelativistic approach a Hamiltonian (Schroedinger equation) method is utilized together with a projection technique. Both approaches give a finite set of amplitude equations respectively, and the formal correspondence between these sets of equations is observed. Due to the proper consideration of pions, the problem of pion overcounting does not occur and the amplitudes are shown to satisfy at least two- and three-particle unitarity. Through the study of the scattering in the $pi$NN system, several important aspects common in general pion- nucleus scattering have been observed. For instance, this observation gives some new insight into the proper structure of pion-nucleus optical potentials. For practical applications the non-relativistic $pi$NN amplitudes are reduced in angular momentum-isospin eigenstates together with the inclusion of bound states. The reduced amplitudes are then used to study the pion absorption effect on the pion--deuteron scattering length. The result is consistent with experiment. Some possible future applications of the formulations developed are discussed. 10 tables, 2 figures, 65 references. (auth).

Lectures in Scattering Theory discusses problems in quantum mechanics and the principles of the non-relativistic theory of potential scattering. This book describes in detail the properties of the scattering matrix and its connection with physically observable quantities. This text presents a stationary formulation of the scattering problem and the wave functions of a particle found in an external field. This book also examines the analytic properties of the scattering matrix, dispersion relations, complex angular moments, as well as the separable representation of the scattering amplitude. The text also explains the method of factorizing the potential and the two-particle scattering amplitude, based on the Hilbert-Schmidt theorem for symmetric integral equations. In investigating the problem of scattering in a three-particle system, this book notes that the inapplicability of the Lippman-Schwinger equations can be fixed by appropriately re-arranging the equations. Faddeev equations are the new equations formed after such re-arrangements. This book also cites, as an example, the scattering of a spin-1/2 particle by a spinless particle (such as the scattering of a nucleon by a spinless nucleus). This text is suitable for students and professors dealing with quantum mechanics, theoretical nuclear physics, or other fields of advanced physics.

The aim of the book is to give a coherent and comprehensive account of quantum scattering theory with applications to atomic, molecular and nuclear systems. The motivation for this is to supply the necessary theoretical tools to calculate scattering observables of these many-body systems. Concepts which are seemingly different for atomic/molecular scattering from those of nuclear systems, are shown to be the same once physical units such as energy and length are diligently clarified. Many-body resonances excited in nuclear systems are the same as those in atomic systems and come under the name of Feshbach resonances. We also lean heavily on semi-classical methods to explain the physics of quantum scattering OCo especially the interference seen in the angle dependence of the cross section. Having in mind a wide readership, the book includes sections on scattering in two dimensions which is of use in surface physics. Several problems are also included at the end of each of the chapters.

A description of general techniques for solving linear partial differential equations by dividing space into regions to which the equations are independently applied and then assembling a global solution from the partial ones. Intended for researchers and graduates involved in calculations of the electronic structure of materials, this will also be of interest to workers in quantum chemistry, electron microscopy, acoustics, optics, and other fields. The book begins with an intuitive approach to scattering theory and then turns to partial waves and a formal development of multiple scattering theory, with applications to the solid state. The authors then present a variational derivation of the formalism and an augmented version of the theory, concluding with a discussion of the relativistic formalism and a discussion of the Poisson equation. Appendices discuss Green's functions, spherical functions, Moller operators and the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, irregular solutions, and singularities in Green's functions.

This subject is clearly of interest in its own right as a branch of quantum mechanical scattering theory. However, it also serves as an introduction to many of the basic theoretical concepts which are used in inelastic electron scattering and ionization. Consequently this mono graph can be viewed as an introduction to texts where these subjects are treated.
