Pais's functional equation for the phase shifts for scattering with nonzero angular momentum is solved for particles with low energies. It is shown that for short-range potentials with screening (in particular, of Yukawa or Thomas-Fermi type), Pais's equation reduces to transcendent equations. For potentials about/r /sup n/, n > 0, simple algebraic equations are obtained for finding the phase shifts delta /sub l/, l is identical to 0. The possibility of using Pais's approximation to find resonance situations in the case of the scattering of slow particles with nonzero angular momentum is discussed.
