Born--Oppenheimer amplitude for exchange collisions of electrons by atoms or molecules is found to possess singularities in the complex k0, kf, and K plane, where k0, kf, and K denote the magnitudes of the incoming, outgoing, and momentum change vectors, respectively. The locations of the singularities are investigated using analytic Hartree--Fock wavefunctions as well as correlated wavefunctions for the target, and are found to be related to the asymptotic behavior of the target electron undergoing exchange.
