Excerpt from Bounds on Elements of the S Matrix for Elastic Scattering: One Dimensional Scattering

In this paper, we will consider multi-channel scattering in which the scattering matrix cannot be diagonalized a priori. More formally.

Excerpt from Bounds on Elements of the S Matrix for Elastic Scattering: One Dimensional Scattering

Kato has demonstrated the possibility of determining upper and lover bounds on cot x, where q is the phase shift for arbitrary angular monentum. for the quantum mechanical scattering of a particle by a static central potential. The basic interest of the method derives; from the fact that the expression for either bound includes a variational trial function, and gives an error which is of second order in the difference between the trial function and the exact function. The bounds are therefore also variational estimates, and might be termed variational bounds. In subsequent studies, 2, 3, 4, the case of angular moments greater than zero was considered more intensively, some slight extensions and improvements in the formalism were effected, and some pre-liminary results were obtained for the applicability of the method to scattering by compound systems with emphasis on the low energy scattering of positrons by Hydrogen atoms.

Static central potential scattering problems involve an infinite number of channels which are however uncoupled, a consequence of conservation of angular momentus. In other words, an expansion into partial waves leads to a diagonalization of the scattering matrix S before the detailed analysis is begun. Furthermore, each angular momentum channel wave function is completely characterised by one real number, the real phase shift for that angular momentun.
