Rank-one inverse scattering problem: Reformulation and analytic solutions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Using the K-matrix formalism, we give a simplified reformulation of the S-wave rank-one inverse scattering problem. The resulting Cauchy integral equation, obtained differently by Gourdin and Martin in their first paper, is tailored to rational representations of F(k) = k cot(delta/sub 0/). Use of such F(k) permits a simple but general solution without integration, giving analytic form factors having a pole structure like the S matrix that are reducible to rational expressions using Pade approximants. Finally, we show a bound state pole condition is necessary, and makes the form factor unique.
