AN ABSOLUTE DEFINITION OF PHASE SHIFT IN THE ELASTIC SCATTERING OF A PARTICLE FROM COMPOUND SYSTEMS
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4021572
It is argued that the projection of the target wave function on the total wave function of a scattered particle interacting with the target system provides a definition of the absolute phase shift including any multiples of pi . With this definition it can be proven rigorously that in the limit of zero energy for s-wave electrons scattered from atomic hydrogen, the triplet phase shift must approach a nonzero multiple of pi . It can be further shown that at least one pi of the phase shift is not related to the existence of a bound state of the H- ion. (auth)
