In quantum physics, the scattering amplitude is the amplitude of the outgoing spherical wave relative to the incoming plane wave in a stationary-state scattering process.〔(Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications By Nouredine Zettili, 2nd edition, page 623. ISBN 978-0-470-02679-3 Paperback 688 pages January 2009, ©2008 )〕 The latter is described by the wavefunction : where is the position vector; ; is the incoming plane wave with the wavenumber along the axis; is the outgoing spherical wave; is the scattering angle; and is the scattering amplitude. The dimension of the scattering amplitude is length. The scattering amplitude is a probability amplitude and the differential cross-section as a function of scattering angle is given as its modulus squared : In the low-energy regime the scattering amplitude is determined by the scattering length. == Partial wave expansion == (詳細はMichael Fowler/ 1/17/08 Plane Waves and Partial Waves )〕 :, where is the partial scattering amplitude and are the Legendre polynomials. The partial amplitude can be expressed via the partial wave S-matrix element () and the scattering phase shift as : Then the differential cross section is given by :, and the total elastic cross section becomes :, where is the imaginary part of . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scattering amplitude」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
