Development of a confined variational method for elastic scattering

چکیده
It is shown that the discrete energies of a scattering Hamiltonian calculated under the influence of an artificial confining potential can be used to determine its phase shifts. Two potentials that have the same energy under the influence of the confining potential have exactly the same phase shift at that energy when the confining potential is removed. Thus the phase shifts of a complicated many-body problem can be extracted by solving the Schrödinger equation under the influence of the confining potential, and then making reference to the energies and phase shifts of a much simpler model potential calculated in the same confining potential. Calculations on real systems gave very precise phase shifts for the e−-H and e−-He systems.

The matrix variational Padé approximant and its generalization to elastic wave scattering are discussed. Predictions of the method for the scattering of a longitudinal plane wave are compared with the exact scattering from spherical voids and inclusions. Its predictions are also compared to those of the first and second Born approximations and to the standard matrix Padé approximant based on th...

The complex Kohn variational principle and the (correlated) hyperspherical harmonics method are applied to study the proton–deuteron elastic scattering at energies above the deuteron breakup threshold. Results for the elastic cross section and various elastic polarization observables have been obtained by taking into account the long–range effect of the Coulomb interaction and using a realistic...

متن کاملElastic positronium-atom scattering using the stochastic variational method.
The stochastic variational method is used in conjunction with stabilization ideas to compute the low energy phase shifts and scattering lengths for positronium-atom scattering. Results are obtained for the Ps-H, Ps- Li+, Ps-He, and Ps-Ps systems. The Ps-H scattering lengths are probably accurate to better than 5% and are the most accurate so far computed. The results for Ps- Li+ and Ps-Ps scatt...
