Multiple Scattering by Quantum-Mechanical Systems
Abstract
A simple description is given of the quantum-mechanical theory of multiple scattering. The separation of the scattered wave into "coherent" and "incoherent" parts is discussed in greater generality than has been done previously. Applications to transport theory are described. Specific calculations are made of the refractive index of a medium which is "polarized" by the scattered particle (Lorentz-Lorenz formula) and also of a medium which has correlated structure (critical opalescence). Other applications are given.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
