We apply the method of Dalgarno and Lewis to scattering states and discuss the choice of the unperturbed model in order to have a convergent perturbation series for the phase shift.
In this paper we give an application of Dalgarno-Lewis method, the latter not usually taught in quantum mechanics courses. This is very unfortunate since this method allows to bypass the sum over states appearing in the usual perturbation…
