Abstract
We present a neat formula for the transport cross section for spherically symmetric potentials. The formula is the analogy of a well-known expression for the total cross section in terms of phase shifts. For a hard sphere we calculate the transport cross section explicitly, which shows that for all positive wavenumbers k, most scattering is in the forward direction.
