Résumé

The observation and analysis of particle and wave scattering plays a crucial role in physics; numerous important discoveries, including nuclear fission, are the direct result of collision experiments. This concise volume crosses the boundaries of physics' traditional subdivisions to treat scattering theory within the context of classical electromagnetic radiation, classical particle mechanics, and quantum mechanics. It represents an enlarged and improved edition of the author's text on the theory of scattering electromagnetic waves, of classical particles, and of quantum-mechanic particles, including multiparticle collisions.

This new edition's improvements include updates on developments in three-particle collisions, in scattering by noncentral potentials, and in the inverse scattering problems.
