The fixed energy scattering matrix is defined on a perturbed stratified medium, and for a class of perturbations, its main part is shown to be a Fourier integral operator on the sphere at infinity. This is facilitated by developing a…
The collision of two ultra-cold atoms results in a quantum-mechanical superposition of two outcomes: each atom continues without scattering and each atom scatters as a spherically outgoing wave with an s-wave phase shift. The magnitude of…
