Abstract

In this paper, we solve the massive scalar field in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime. The scalar field in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime has both bound states and scattering states. For bound states, we solve the bound-state wave function and the eigenvalue spectrum. For scattering states, we solve the scattering wave function and give an explicit expression for scattering phase shift by the integral equation method. Especially, we introduce the tortoise coordinate for the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime.
