5 Schrödinger Equation Particle in a central potential Continuity equation We are often concerned with moving particles e.g. collision of particles Must calculate density flux of particle beam j From conservation of probability rate of decrease of number of particles in a given volume is equal to total flux of particles out of that volume t V ρ dv = j ˆn ds = S (last equality is Gauss theorem) V j dv (4) Probability and flux densities are related by continuity equation ρ t + j = 0 (5) L.
