A note on Coulomb scattering amplitude

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The summation of the partial wave series for Coulomb scattering amplitude, fC(θ)f^C(\theta) is avoided because the series is oscillatorily and divergent. Instead, fC(θ)f^C(\theta) is obtained by solving the Schr{\"o}dinger equation in parabolic cylindrical co-ordinates which is not a general method. Here, we show that a reconstructed series, (1cosθ)2fC(θ)(1-\cos\theta) ^2f^C(\theta), is both convergent and analytically summable.
