Inverse problem for potential scattering at fixed energy

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

The inverse problem for quantal potential scattering at fixed energy is solved exactly for a scattering function which has the form of a product of a complex rational function of angular momentum times the scattering function of a given reference potential. Schematic numerical studies indicate the viability of the method in realistic applications.
