A time-dependent multichannel nonrelativistic quantum scattering theory is established for systems which contain identical particles. The symmetry properties of the theory are rooted in the abstract algebraic relationships between permutations. The formalism of second quantization is thus avoided. Appropriate wave and scattering operators are defined, including those for systems with long range (e.g., Coulomb) interactions. A correctly symmetrized dynamical equation for the symmetric form of the transition operator is derived and used to develop an optical potential formalism.
