PATH INTEGRAL METHODS FOR INELASTIC-SCATTERING

Journal article

Corrections to the primitive semi-classical amplitude for multiple inelastic scattering are obtained from a path integral formulation of scattering theory. The path integrals are calculated by making an expansion about a classical orbit describing elastic scattering. Terms are collected to give a series in inverse powers of the reduced mass m of relative motion of the target and projectile. The leading term is the primitive semi-classical amplitude for multiple excitation and explicit formula...
