Abstract

The phenomenon of scattering is an important tool to understand the structure of particles and forces between them. Many of the properties like charge, spin, size etc. of microscopic particles are better understood with the help of scattering experiments. Essentially, the scattering theory in non-relativistic quantum mechanics is concerned with the solution of Schrödinger wave equation for variety of potentials with appropriate boundary conditions. Common approaches to scattering problems in quantum mechanics are the method of partial waves and Born approximation methods. In this paper we review the general features of potential scattering. Then we extend the formalism of the method of partial waves for relativistic case and apply the method to study scattering by few well known potentials.
