Introduction to Scattering Theory Y.-H. Song(RISP,IBS) 2017.July.04 The 2nd RISP Intensive Program on Rare Isotope Physics

There are many good books for scattering theory or reaction Here we will skip detailed discussion on the scattering theory and try to summarize important concepts and equations Non-relativistic theory. No tensor force, or spin-dependent force

Scattering (Goldstein 3-19) Classical Mechanics : Interaction -> Trajectory -> Cross section Quantum Mechanics : Interaction -> Probability-> Cross section For the probability interpretation, the wave function have to be normalized. Thus, it is natural to consider time evolution of a Wave packet for scattering. (non-stationary solution of Schrodinger equation) But, in practice, it is easier to describe the scattering in terms of plane waves(stationary, non-normalizable).

Kinematics Separation of C.M. motion and relative motion Natural unit Reduced mass C.M. motion is trivial (Momentum Conservation) only interested in the relative coordinate  C.M. frame : Simplification of two-body problem into one-body problem

Kinematics Before collision (Satchler fig2.1) In elastic scattering, (kinetic) energy is conserved.

Kinematics vcm vlab Q= (mA+mB –mC -mD) c^2, Q=0 for elastic scattering Cross section at lab frame and at CM frame (H.W.) prove the relation between Lab angle and CM angle (H.W.) relativistic kinematic relations

Plane Wave Time independent Schrodinger equation free particle solution : Plane wave Bra-ket notation and normalization

Current From continuity eq. and Schrodinger eq. Free Current density Plane wave Case : (density)*(velocity)

Asymptotic Form of scattering wave If interaction have finite range, Asymptotic boundary condition Incident wave + scattered wave f : Scattering amplitude f=0 , if there is no potential (Satchler Fig. 3.1) Then incident flux and scattered flux at large distance (H.W.) show this

Cross section Cross section for the scattering into solid angle Differential Cross section Angle Integrated Cross section  “total” cross section We will use “total” cross section as a sum of elastic cross section and non-elastic cross section.

Partial Wave Expansion Since the angular momentum is conserved in scattering, it is convenient to use angular momentum eigenstate as a basis.  Partial wave expansion Free particle The regular solution of radial equation is spherical Bessel function  Plane wave can be expanded by spherical Bessel function and Spherical Harmonics

Partial Wave expansion of plane wave Useful equations

S-matrix Incident wave contains both ingoing and outgoing wave Scattered wave should only contain outgoing wave Thus, the effect of scattering may be expressed as (Complex) S-matrix to the outgoing wave part Unitarity implies |S|=1

Phase Shift From unitarity, we can introduce phase shift in the asymptotic form

Phase shift, S-matrix, Scattering amplitude and Cross section Using this relation, we can relate the S-matrix (phase shift) with the Asymptotic form of wave function, scattering amplitude And finally cross section.

Coulomb functions Coulomb interaction is long range Coulomb functions Sommerfeld parameter Spherical Bessel (Neumann) function is a special case with eta=0, V=0

Coulomb functions Coulomb-Hankel function Asymptotic Forms Coulomb phase shift For the moment, let us ignore Coulomb interaction, eta=0. Thus, Coulomb functions and Coulomb-Hankel functions simply corresponds to Spherical Bessel functions and (ingoing, outgoing waves).

S-,T-,K-matrix In terms of Coulomb functions, we may express the asymptotic form in many ways (H.W.) confirm these relations K-matrix is real-valued

How to get the phase shift from Schrodinger equation All we need is a phase shift Numerical Solution of Schrodinger equation by numerical integration(Runge-Kutta, Numerov…) Boundary Condition: B and S are unknown

How to get the phase shift from Schrodinger equation Continuous Matching condition at matching radius r=a R-matrix Then, we get S-matrix

Optical theorem when |s|=1

Reaction(absorption) Cross section In fact, the optical theorem holds even when the phase shift is complex ( |s|<1, thus disappearing flux ) , if we define (total cross section)=(elastic cross section)+(reaction cross section) (reaction cross section) describe the disappearance of flux ~ absorption ~ Complex potential Total flux into the sphere: Reaction cross section = ratio between (incident flux) and (disappeared flux)

Optical Theorem (with reaction) When other reaction channels are explicitly considered:

Example: Hard sphere scattering R-matrix is zero at the boundary Low energy limit At low energy, only S-wave is important

Phase shift and potential Difference of two equation Integrate

Phase shift and potential Wronskian Relation between Phase shift and potential By using asymptotic form of wave (this relation depends on the choice of convention) For weak potential V, Born approximation gives Repulsive V  negative phase shift Attractive V  positive phase shift (Satchler Fig.3.4)

Low energy limit Low energy limit For L=0, (phase shift) - k*(constant) . Scattering length can be defined as Wave function at low energy

Effective Range Expansion In low energy limit, only S-wave is important Consider two S-wave solutions at different energies Consider asymptotic form with phase shift Take difference Take a zero energy limit for k1

Effective Range Expansion scattering length a effective range is a measure of range of potential Effective range expansion Low energy scattering Can be determined by just two parameters, Scattering length and effective range

Resonance Phase shift~ pi/2 Scattering amplitude(cross section) becomes maximum ~ can be a indication of resonance Fig. from lecture of S. Elster Resonance ~ quasi bound state ~ long time delay in wave packet ~ peak in cross section ~ pole of S-matrix at complex energy

Resonance S-wave neurton scattering The amplitude in internal region becomes Large when the derivative of wave function Becomes zero. (Satchler’s book) (Shape elastic)~ no penetration to internal ~ hard sphere case Elastic~|(shape elastic)+(compound elastic)|^2

Resonance Elastic~|(shape elastic)+(compound elastic)|^2 Absorption cross section and compound part Have maximum at x=0. Near resonance energy

Resonance Breit-Wigner resonance When shape elastic part is negligible, Cross section becomes Breit-Wigner Form Near the resonance (I.J.Thompson’s book Fig3.3)

Scattering amplitude

LS equation for t-matrix T-operator LS equation for T-operator

LS equation for t-matrix Convention dependent half-on-shell equation( no-restriction on k’ or k tilde) The phase shift(scattering amplitude) can be obtained from on-shell T-matrix

Born Series If potential is strong, the born series may have bad convergence. Distorted Wave Born Approximation can be used ( Non-perturbative treatment of part of interaction)

Born Approximation/Series

S-matrix Energy-conservation factor can be factored out on-shell S-matrix Relation between S-matrix, T-matrix, and potential

How to solve LS equation for T-matrix Requires partial wave expansion, discretization of momentum space , proper treatment of singularity in the integral Partial wave decomposition (depends on convention)

How to solve LS equation for T-matrix Principal value Integral Discretization : Gaussian Quadrature On-shell T-matrix gives phase shift, scattering amplitude

Scattering of identical particles Until now, we assumed that the two particles are distinguishable. When two identical particle are scattering, the wave function have to be symmetric(anti-symmetric) for bosons( fermions)  Equivalently to sum two scattering amplitude I.J. Thompson’s book fig. 3.8

Scattering of identical particles Anti-symmetric two-nucleon wave function L+S+T =(odd) pp or nn scattering, T=1 S=0 : only even L S=1 : only odd L (I.J. Thompson’s book)

Two potential formula Suppose there are strong potential and weak potential (Plane wave) (Distorted Wave) (Full scattering wave)

Two potential formula

Two potential formula Thus we get two-potential formula

Distorted Wave Born Approximation Thus DWBA treat strong potential (or Coulomb) non-perturbatively but treat weak potential perturbatively. Note that we have to use correct boundary conditions (H.W.) Find Corresponding relation for partial radial wave function
