Scattering Theory: The Quantum Theory of Nonrelativistic Collisions
(Write a Review)
Paperback
$26.95
Topics are presented in terms of the simplest relevant example, so that scattering theory can be learned by becoming familiar with all of the basic concepts -- the S operator, cross sections, the T matrix, and so forth -- in their simplest context. The time-dependent approach to the subject is emphasized, starting with the use of time-dependent formalism to define all of the basic concepts and the subsequent introduction of the time-independent theory as a tool for computation and for establishing certain general properties. Problems at the end of each chapter improve and supplement readers' grasp of the material.
