Scattering of a spin-1/2 particle off a spin-0 target is formulated based on a simple three-dimensional momentum-spin basis. The azimuthal behaviour of both the potential and the T-matrix elements leads to a set of integral equations for…

Scattering of electromagnetic waves lies at the heart of most experimental techniques over nearly the entire electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from radio waves to optics and X-rays. Hence, deep insight into the basics of scattering theory…
