Scattering Worked Problems

These problems apply the conventions and methods developed in the scattering chapters. Choose a solved potential when checking normalization or limits, a Born calculation when testing weak scattering, and a phase-shift calculation when angular momentum is the useful organizing variable. Model-specific solutions elsewhere remain linked to their canonical homes.

Helpful background. Try the calculation before reading its checks, and state which approximation controls the answer.

Use Scattering Theory to choose another chapter. General perturbative, variational, and semiclassical strategies are collected in Approximation and Semiclassical Methods.
