X Abstract

10.1098/rspa.1955.0031 It is shown that for the interaction of systems described by integro-differential equations, such as the scattering of electrons by atoms or of nucleons by deuterons, tritons and other nuclei, that the zero-energy scattering phase-shift is (n + m) $π $, where n is the number of composite bound states of the impacted and incident particles, and m is the number of states from which the incident particle is excluded by the Pauli principle. Each of these excluded states corresponds to a solution of the integro-differential equation asymptotic to e$^-γ r$ for which the complete wave function vanishes identically, and which therefore does not represent a bound state. It is possible to predict the zero-energy phase-shift without calculation by a knowledge of the composite bound states and of the distribution and quantum numbers of the elementary particles contained in the impacted and incident systems.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
