Radiative transfer (RT) problems in which the source function includes a scattering-like integral are typical two-points boundary problems. Their solution via differential equations implies to make hypotheses on the solution itself, namely…
In the standard Breit-Wigner approach to scattering the phase shift is to have a form $\tan\delta_{\rm BW} =\Gamma_1/(E_1-E)$ at a real energy resonance. This leads to complex energy poles in the scattering amplitude at $E_{\rm…
The computation of light scattering by the superposition T-matrix scheme has been so far restricted to systems made of particles that are either sparsely distributed or of near-spherical shape. In this work, we extend the range of…

We consider the scattering theory for the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Dc_x^2+V(x)$ on graphs made of one-dimensional wires connected to external leads. We derive two expressions for the scattering matrix on arbitrary graphs. One involves…
A formulation of nucleon-nucleon scattering is developed in which the S-matrix, rather than an effective-field theory (EFT) action, is the fundamental object. Spacetime plays no role in this description: the S-matrix is a trajectory that…
