Wave Packets and Scattering Probabilities

Abstract

We propose a simple, intuitive alternative method of deriving the rule for connecting asymptotic wave function amplitudes to scattering probabilities. This is illustrated using the standard example of a 1-D particle reflecting or transmitting from a potential step.
