chapter 17
Scattering
In this chapter we will learn about particle interactions in the case of scattering and how to handle scattering in quantum theory. Differential cross sections will allow us to quantify probabilities of different events.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
In this chapter you will
• Learn how to handle particle scattering in quantum mechanics
• Learn how to use the Born approximation in the case of a weak potential which acts as a small perturbation
• calculate differential cross sections
