3 Scattering (S) and Transition (T) Matrices Incident wave Involves G rather than G 0 Scattered to different out states Let us define the Transition (T) matrix such that : (VG R )αβ=(tg 0R )αβ T kk (E) incorporates all the effects of scattering in the interction region Relation between S and T matrix Free Prop. with k Free Prop with k
4 The scattered state (1D) Incident particles with mom k A e ikx C e ikx Outgoing particles with mom k B e -ikx Outgoing particles with mom -k D e -ikx Incident particles with mom -k Nice Properties: Unitarity, Symmetry S Matrix T Matrix t 2 is transmission coeff for left incidence r 2 is reflection coeff for left incidence t 2 is transmission coeff for right incidence Easily related to reflection and transmission co-effs r 2 is reflection coeff for right incidence Note: Scattering states have particular boundary cond. The eigenstate with hard walls at x= ± L is different from scattering soln. since it follows different boundary cond.
5 The scattered state (1D) Unitarity of S r 2 + t 2 = r 2 + t 2 =1 tr * + rt * = 0 Time Reversal Invariance A e ikx C e ikx B* e ikx D* e ikx B e -ikx D e -ikx A* e -ikx C* e -ikx If this is a solution So is this S*S =1 r = r Reflection (Parity) Invariance r=r, t = t
6 The scattered state (1D) Transfer Matrix Easy to calculate S Matrix Calculation for a repulsive square well V Parity + TR invariance > S 11 = S 22 Follow any Std. QM Book (Schiff, Merzbacher etc.) A e ikx V0 C e ikx B e -ikx D e -ikx -a a x k = [2m(E-V 0 )] 1/2 k = [2mE] 1/2 ε = i (k 2 +k 2 )/2kk η = -i (k 2 - k 2 )/2kk
7 The scattered state (3D) Assume: incident particles have momentum k along z direction i.e. energy of particles is E=k 2 /2m By definition of the propagator φ is the incident state. Now, the S matrix connects the incoming and the outgoing states Using Now in 3D magnitude of momentum k = p 2mE
8 The scattered state (3D) ~r For geometry of scattering For elastic scattering Now, incident state So, far from the interaction region So and
9 T Matrix and cross section (3D) Incident wave Outgoing spherical wavefront Scattering amplitude Differential Cross Section S Matrix > T Matrix > Cross Section (Measureable Quantity)
10 Unitarity of S and Optical Theorem Statement of Optical Theorem Im[f( = 0)] = p tot 4 Imaginary part of fwd scattering amplitude, which measures how many particles are lost in this dirn., is equal to total number of scattered particles. This is just a restatement of probability conservation. θ Unitarity of S Take expectation in p states Use Note: Prob Conservation > σ tot should include both elastic and inelastic cross section
11 Singular Potentials and T matrix V(r) The defining Equation: VG= TG 0 Hard Sphere Model: The FT of V does not exist, impossible to work with V kk 0 = hk 0 V ki = hk 0 V ki V (r) = 1 = 0 0 <r<a r>a a r T kk 0 = hk 0 V (+) k i Actual Solution in presence of potential The wfn in presence of the potential vanishes at r=a and is finite for r>a. So T kk is well defined The system responds to the presence of the infinite potential by avoiding the region where the potential is infinite. The T matrix incorporates this information and is non-singular.
