Variational Methods in Nuclear Collision Problems
Abstract
Variational methods, similar to the Rayleigh-Ritz method for bound state calculations, are developed for the phase shifts and elements of the scattering matrix in nuclear collisions. Numerical applications to neutron-proton and neutron-deuteron scattering involving trial functions with undetermined coefficients are described. Another variational principle, for scattering amplitudes, is shown to lead to the Born approximations and a formula recently derived by Schwinger. It may also be used in conjunction with the method of undetermined coefficients.

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.
