Abstract
In evaluating differential cross section of elastic scattering, different theories were applied to low-momentum and relativistic particles. For low-momentum motion, Lippmann-Schwinger scattering equation was applied, called fundamental formula; while for relativistic particles, a general scattering theory was used which calculates S matrix. In this paper, Lippmann-Schwinger equation is applied uniformly to both low-momentum and relativistic particles. The cross sections are valuated to the first order of Born approximation. One-body time-independent Green's functions for relativistic free particles are given. Compared to the general scattering theory, the fundamental theory has a clearer physical picture and the approximations made are more explicit.
