Scattering activities are generally manifest through different optical responses of scattering bodies to circularly polarized light of opposite handedness. Similar to the ubiquitous roles played by scattering theory across different…
In addition to the conventional renormalized--coupling--constant picture, point interactions in dimension two and three are shown to model within a suitable energy range scattering on localized potentials, both attractive and repulsive.
We introduce a new, probability-level approach to calculations in scalar field particle scattering. The approach involves the implicit summation over final states, which makes causality manifest since retarded propagators emerge naturally.…
We consider the number of configurations of a surface in two dimensions that has a prescribed length and encloses a prescribed perimeter with respect to a baseline. An approximate analytical treatment in a semi--continuum compares…

A simple model coupling a one-dimensional beam particle to a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator is used to explore complementarity and entanglement. This model, well-known in the inelastic scattering literature, is presented under three…
The zero-range potential approach is extended for the description of situations where two-body scattering is resonant in arbitrary partial waves. The formalism generalizes the Fermi pseudopotential which can be used only for s-wave broad…
Theory of scattering of a quantum-mechanical particle on a cosmic string is developed. S-matrix and scattering amplitude are determined as functions of the flux and the tension of the string. We reveal that, in the case of the nonvanishing…

The forward and backward scattering off linear systems with discrete rotational symmetries R_z (2{\pi} /n) with n $\ge$ 3 are shown to be restricted by symmetry reasons. Along the symmetry axis, forward scattering can only be helicity…
When a two-dimensional curved surface is conceived as a limiting case of a curved shell of equal thickness d, where the limit d\rightarrow0 is then taken, the well-known geometric potential is induced by the kinetic energy operator, in fact…

The distribution of visible matter in the universe, such as galaxies and galaxy clusters, has its origin in the week fluctuations of density that existed at the epoch of recombination. The hierarchical distribution of the universe, with its…
Scattering of two mesons is considered in the framework of two-dimensional QCD in the large-$N_c^{}$ limit with four different quark flavors. The scattering takes place through two coupled channels, corresponding to direct and…
We investigate factorized scattering from a reflecting and transmitting impurity. Bulk scattering is non trivial, provided that the bulk scattering matrix depends separately on the spectral parameters of the colliding particles, and not…
We construct a one-dimensional contact interaction ($\epsilon$ potential) which induces the discontinuity of the wave function while keeping its derivative continuous. By combining the $\epsilon$ potential and the Dirac's $\delta$ function,…
A thorough analysis is presented of the class of central fields of force that exhibit: (i) dimensional transmutation and (ii) rotational invariance. Using dimensional regularization, the two-dimensional delta-function potential and the…
Instead of using local field equations - like the Dirac equation for spin-1/2 and the Klein-Gordon equation for spin-0 particles - one could try to use non-local field equations in order to describe scattering processes. The latter…
In this paper we study the scattering theory associated with the pseudofermion dynamical theory for the Hubbard chain. In terms of pseudofermions the spectral properties are controlled by zero-momentum forward scattering only. The…
The process of scattering of fast charged particles in thin crystals is considered in the transitional range of thicknesses, between those at which the channeling phenomenon is not developed and those at which it is realized. The…
