Abstract
We apply Milne's phase-amplitude representation [W. E. Milne, Phys. Rev. 35, 863 (1930)] to a scattering problem involving disjoint classically allowed regions separated by a barrier. Specifically, we develop a formalism employing different sets of amplitude and phase functions --- each set of solutions optimized for a separate region --- and we use these locally adapted solutions to obtain the true value of the scattering phase shift and accurate tunneling rates for ultra-narrow shape resonances. We show results for an illustrative example of an attractive potential with a large centrifugal barrier.
