Number of quantal resonances

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Employing the concept of time-delay, a relation is found which counts the number of quantal resonances supported by a potential. Several simple and advanced illustrations include a treatment of square-well, Dirac delta barrier, an interesting physical situation from neutron reflectometry, and the Delta resonance appearing in the scattering of \pi meson from proton.
