Spacings between phase shifts in a simple scattering problem

Abstract

We prove a scattering theoretical version of the Berry-Tabor conjecture: for an almost every surface in a class of cylindrical surfaces of revolution, the large energy limit of the pair correlation measure of the quantum phase shifts is Poisson, that is, it is given by the uniform measure.
