Abstract

This is an introduction into scattering theory. Topics include: classical scattering by a central force; quantum scattering by a central force; elastic scattering phase shifts; semi-classical elastic scattering; general theory of inelastic collisions; quantum inelastic transition probabilities; semi-classical models; the semi-classical $S$-matrix; reactive scattering; continuum wave functions; Green's Functions; semi-classical connection formulae; curve crossing in the momentum representation, and elements of classical mechanics. Emphasis is on the derivation of analytic results.
