Scattering phase-shift

It was shown in the preceding section that PECD can be anticipated to have an enhanced sensitivity (compared to the cross-section or p anisotropy parameter) to any small variations in the photoelectron scattering phase shifts. This is because the chiral parameter is structured from electric dipole operator interference terms between adjacent -waves, each of which depends on the sine of the associated channels relative phase shifts. In contrast, the cross-section has no phase dependence, and the p parameter has only a partial dependence on the cosine of the relative phase. The distinction between the sine... 

Expressions for the medium modifications of the cluster distribution functions can be derived in a quantum statistical approach to the few-body states, starting from a Hamiltonian describing the nucleon-nucleon interaction by the potential V"(12, l/2/) (1 denoting momentum, spin and isospin). We first discuss the two-particle correlations which have been considered extensively in the literature [5,7], Results for different quantities such as the spectral function, the deuteron binding energy and wave function as well as the two-nucleon scattering phase shifts in the isospin singlet and triplet channel have been evaluated for different temperatures and densities. The composition as well as the phase instability was calculated.

At small densities the first term to the right is usually negligible. In the sum over the free states, dn /dx is the density of states which may be expressed in terms of the radius Rc of the free volume and the scattering phase shift, ry, as... 

The form displayed in eq. (2-40) implies that the ratios of the amplitudes for scattering into different exit channels are independent of the entrance channel. This, of course, will only be true if the resonance is long lived, so that memory of the initial state can be lost. Note that Aga is a symmetric function, which is a consequence of time-reversal invariance. Note also that, within the approximations used, the phase shift associated with a given channel is just the elastic scattering phase shift for that channel. Finally, the partial widths are proportional to the probability of decay from channel fi. Equation (2-41) is, then, merely a statement that the total probability of decay from channel is the sum of the probabilities of decay into individual channels. 

Several other accurate calculations have been made of s-wave elastic scattering phase shifts, the more recent ones usually being the byproduct... 

Additional, but rather less direct, evidence for the accuracy of the variational results for models H5 and H14 is provided by the excellent agreement between the theoretical and experimental lifetime spectra for positrons diffusing in helium gas, where calculation of the theoretical spectrum requires a knowledge of the momentum transfer and annihilation cross sections, both of which are derived from the wave functions generated in the calculations of the elastic scattering phase shifts. A detailed discussion of positron lifetime spectra is given in Chapter 6. 

Whereas the error in the calculated value of the elastic scattering phase shift is usually of second order in the error in H, the error in Zeff is of first order the values of Zeg therefore tend to be rather less accurate than the corresponding phase shifts. Consequently, the value obtained for Zeg provides a sensitive test of the accuracy of a wave function, although admittedly in a very restricted region of configuration space where the positron is close to one of the electrons. Drachman and Sucher (1979) developed an alternative method of calculating Zeg in which the delta function A(ri — rt) is replaced by a global operator but, because it is...

In both these special cases, A6/A2 is independent of disorder.[Haas et al., 1997] A variation of A6/A2 can, therefore, only be expected for a2 / a6 and Ag6 A22A66- However, since A6/A2 depends only on j/2 — ir6 the variation remains modest even for Tc —> 0. The inset of Fig. 1 gives an example of the variation of A6/A2 with F and So. The main panel shows the transition temperature normalized to its clean limit value as function of the scattering rate, normalized to the critical scattering rate for pure. v-wavc scattering Tcrit = 0.882 7co, for three values of the scattering phase shift.

Since we are interested in determining relative intensities, we can ignore the time-dependent part of Eq. (3.22) and consider only the part in square brackets, which is called the complex scattering amplitude, f is the scattering factor and V the scattering phase shift.

Because of the statistics—let us assume Bose statistics—only scattering phase shifts of even angular momentum contribute to the cross section. That means that the phase shifts have the separation n for all following / except for a small correction xl2. In other words, all phase shifts make the same contribution to the cross section as the s-wave phase shift. The integral cross section therefore oscillates (Helbing, 1969a) ...
