Low-energy two-dimensional scattering is particularly sensitive to the existence and properties of weakly-bound states. We show that interaction potentials $V(r)$ with vanishing zero-momentum Born approximation $\int d^2r V(r)=0$ lead to an…
We consider N particles interacting pair-wise by an inverse square potential in one dimension (Calogero-Sutherland-Moser model). When trapped harmonically, its classical canonical partition function for the repulsive regime is known in the…
We show that both confined atoms and electron-atom scattering can be described by a unified basis set method. The central idea behind this method is to place the atom inside a hard potential sphere, enforced by a standard Slater type basis…
