To clarify the relation of energy shifts to scattering phase shifts in one-body and many-body problems, we examine their relation in a number of different situations. We derive, for a particle in a container of arbitrary shape with a…

The nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) potential is the residual interaction of the strong interaction in the low-energy region and is also the fundamental input to the study of atomic nuclei. Based on the non-perturbative properties of the quantum…
We describe bound states, resonances and elastic scattering of light ions using a $\delta$-shell potential. Focusing on low-energy data such as energies of bound states and resonances, charge radii, asymptotic normalization coefficients,…

The penetrable-square-well (PSW) pair interaction potential is defined as $\phi (r)=\epsilon_r$ if the two interacting particles are overlapped ($r<\sigma$), $\phi(r)=-\epsilon_a$ inside a corona ($\sigma <r<\lambda$), and $\phi(r)=0$…
Orbital degrees of freedom play an essential role in metals, semiconductors, and strongly confined electronic systems. Experiments with ultracold atoms have used highly anisotropic confinement to explore low-dimensional physics, but…
We present a multichannel quantum-defect theory for slow atomic collisions that takes advantages of the analytic solutions for the long-range potential, and both the energy and the angular-momentum insensitivities of the short-range…
The dipole approximation is employed to describe interactions between atoms and radiation. It essentially consists of neglecting the spatial variation of the external field over the atom. Heuristically, this is justified by arguing that the…
The scattering of a weakly bound (halo) projectile nucleus by a heavy target nucleus is investigated. A new approach, called the Uncorrelated Scattering Approximation, is proposed. The main approximation involved is to neglect the…
We study a non-relativistic particle subject to a three-dimensional spherical potential consisting of a finite well and a radial $\delta$-$\delta'$ contact interaction at the well edge. This contact potential is defined by appropriate…
Resonant scattering of fast particles off low frequency plasma waves is a major process determining transport characteristics of energetic particles in the heliosphere and contributing to their acceleration. Usually, only Alfv\'en waves are…
More than 65 years ago, Jost and Kohn [R. Jost and W. Kohn, {Phys. Rev.} {\bf 87}, 977 (1952)] derived an explicit expression for a class of short-range model potentials from a given effective range expansion with the $s$-wave scattering…
Physical processes involving charge transfer, spin exchange, or excitation exchange often occur in conditions of resonant scattering. We show that the $s$-wave contribution can be used to obtain a good approximation for the full cross…
The manifestation of exceptional points in the scattering continuum of atomic nucleus is studied using the real-energy continuum shell model. It is shown that low-energy exceptional points appear for realistic values of coupling to the…

We consider potential-based interactions between beams (or fibers) and shells (or membranes) using a coarse-grained approach with focus on van der Waals attraction and steric repulsion. The involved 6D integral over volumes of a beam and a…
We present a multichannel model for elastic interactions, comprised of an arbitrary number of coupled finite square-well potentials, and derive semi-analytic solutions for its scattering behavior. Despite the model's simplicity, it is…
