Scattering Experiments

Relate numerical wave packets and amplitudes to the incident-flux and asymptotic conventions used by scattering theory.

  • Wave-Packet Scattering Notebook — A reproducible split-step Fourier simulation of one-dimensional barrier scattering with exact spectral benchmarks and a complete numerical error ledger.
  • Born Approximation Numerical Test — A reproducible partial-wave test of the first Born approximation across Gaussian-potential strength and incident momentum.

The Labs catalog distinguishes downloadable pilot packages from other existing script-backed investigations. Each investigation states its own assumptions and retained checks. Follow Running an Experiment for the shared execution workflow and the Reproducibility Checklist for evidence and error budgets.
