Scattering Theory in Quantum Mechanics
Classical scattering theory provides a useful framework for understanding the interaction of particles or waves with potential fields, allowing scientists to predict and analyze the behavior of scattered particles or waves in a wide range of physical systems.
Scattering of Flux of Particles from a Scattering Center
The scattering of a flux of particles from a scattering center involves the interaction between the particles and the potential field of the scattering center. Classical scattering theory provides a framework to study and analyze this process, allowing scientists to gain insights into the properties of the scattering center.
Introduction to Quantum Scattering Theory
Quantum scattering theory is a branch of physics that describes the interaction between quantum particles and a potential field. It incorporates wave-particle duality and quantum mechanical principles to calculate the scattering cross-section and predict the behavior of scattered particles. It is applicable to microscopic systems where quantum effects cannot be neglected.
