Perturbative estimates on the transport cross section in quantum scattering by hard obstacles

Abstract

The quantum scattering by smooth bodies is considered for small and large values of kdkd, with kk the wavenumber and dd the scale of the body. In both regimes, we prove that the forward scattering exceeds the backscattering. For high kk, we need to assume that the body is strictly convex.
