The methods of an earlier paper are used to obtain a domain of analyticity for the Schrödinger scattering amplitude minus the first Born term. The connection between the scattering integral equation and the Schrödinger equation is also studied.
The Schrödinger equation for two-particle scattering with random potential is considered, including both the cases of a local and a nonlocal potential with convolution kernel. It is shown that the statistical fluctuations of the potential give rise to additional terms which increase the scattering cross section, and an evaluation of the additional terms in the Born approximation is given. A brief discussion about analyticity properties of the scattering amplitude under suitable assumptions is included.
One-dimensional quantum scattering from a local potential barrier is considered. Analytical properties of the scattering amplitudes have been investigated by means of the integral equations equivalent to the Schrödinger equations. The transition and reflection amplitudes are expressed in terms of two complex functions of the incident energy, which are similar to the Jost function in partial-wave scattering. These functions are entire for finite-range potentials and meromorphic for exponentially decreasing potentials. The analytical properties result from the locality of the potential in the wave equation and represent the effect of causality in the time dependence of the scattering process.
