We develop a statistical theory that describes quantum-mechanical scattering of a particle by a cavity when the geometry is such that the classical dynamics is chaotic. This picture is relevant to a variety of physical systems, ranging from…
The elastic p-12C scattering at low energies is studied by using a cluster effective field theory (EFT), where the low-lying resonance states (s1/2, p3/2, d5/2) of 13N are treated as pertinent degrees of freedom. The low-energy constants of…
In the first quarter of the 20th century, physicists were not aware of the existence of classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation nor of the importance of special relativity. Inclusion of these aspects allows classical electron theory…
A simple mathematical procedure is introduced which allows redefining in an exact way divergent integrals and limits that appear in the basic equations of classical electrodynamics with point charges. In this way all divergences are at once…

In this paper, we consider a class of the defocusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation \[ i\partial_t u + \Delta u - |x|^{-b} |u|^\alpha u = 0, \quad u(0)=u_0 \in H^1, \] with $b, \alpha>0$. We firstly study the decaying…
The Lee-Friedrichs model has been very useful in the study of decay-scattering systems in the framework of complex quantum mechanics. Since it is exactly soluble, the analytic structure of the amplitudes can be explicitly studied. It is…
Rainbow, glory and orbiting scattering are usually described by the properties of the classical deflection function related to the real part of the quantum mechanical scattering phase shift or by the diffractive pattern of the quantum…
We develop a framework for dealing with smooth approximations to billiards with corners in the two-dimensional setting. Let a polygonal trajectory in a billiard start and end up at the same billiard's corner point. We prove that smooth…
The transport of ultra-cold atoms in magneto-optical potentials provides a clean setting in which to investigate the distinct predictions of classical versus quantum dynamics for a system with coupled degrees of freedom. In this system,…
We discuss how a standard scattering theory a of multi-particle theory generalises to systems based on Hamiltonians that involve higher-order derivatives in their quantum mechanical formulation. As concrete examples, we consider Hamiltonian…
Quantum Rutherford scattering and scattering of classical waves off Coulomb-like potentials have similar formal structures and can be studied using the same mathematical techniques. In both contexts, the long-range nature of the interaction…
Particles traveling in aligned crystals at small angles w.r.t. crystallographic axes or planes are principally steered by the continuous Lindhard potential. This interaction conserves the energy E, the longitudinal momentum p_parallel, the…
Consider a Schr\"odinger operator on an asymptotically Euclidean manifold $X$ of dimension at least two, and suppose that the potential is of attractive Coulomb-like type. Using Vasy's second 2nd-microlocal approach, "the Lagrangian…
We solve the problem of electron scattering at a potential temporal step discontinuity. We show that the Schrodinger equation cannot account for scattering in this problem, necessitating resort to the Dirac equation, and that breaking gauge…
Many low energy hadrons, such as the rho, can be observed as resonances in scattering experiments. A proposal by L\"uscher enables one to determine infinite volume elastic scattering phases from the two-particle energy spectrum measured…

The Lax-Phillips scattering theory is an appealing abstract framework for the analysis of scattering resonances. Quantum mechanical adaptations of the theory have been proposed. However, since these quantum adaptations essentially retain…
We prove a fixed frequency inverse scattering result for the magnetic Schr\"odinger operator (or connection Laplacian) on surfaces with Euclidean ends. We show that, under suitable decaying conditions, the scattering matrix for the operator…
