On-shell approximation for the s-wave scattering theory

Quantum Gases 2023-03-31 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We investigate the scattering theory of two particles in a generic DD-dimensional space. For the s-wave problem, by adopting an on-shell approximation for the TT-matrix equation, we derive analytical formulas which connect the Fourier transform V~(k){\tilde V}(k) of the interaction potential to the s-wave phase shift. In this way we obtain explicit expressions of the low-momentum parameters g~0{\tilde g}_0 and g~2{\tilde g}_2 of V~(k)=g~0+g~2k2+...{\tilde V}(k)={\tilde g}_0+{\tilde g}_2k^2 +... in terms of the s-wave scattering length asa_s and the s-wave effective range rsr_s for D=3D=3, D=2D=2, and D=1D=1. Our results, which are strongly dependent on the spatial dimension DD, are a useful benchmark for few-body and many-body calculations. As a specific application, we derive the zero-temperature pressure of a 2D uniform interacting Bose gas with a beyond-mean-field correction which includes both scattering length and effective range.
