The book ""Quantum Theory of Scattering"" by Ta-You Wu is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of quantum scattering theory. The book covers the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, wave functions, and the Schr��dinger equation, and then proceeds to explore the theory of scattering, which involves the interaction of particles with each other or with a potential field.The book provides a detailed description of the scattering process, including the scattering amplitude, cross section, and phase shift, and discusses the various types of scattering, such as elastic and inelastic scattering, resonance scattering, and scattering from a potential. The book also covers the scattering of particles by electromagnetic fields, as well as the scattering of particles by nuclei.Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts and apply them to real-world problems. The book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in physics, as well as researchers and professionals in the field of quantum mechanics and scattering theory. Overall, ""Quantum Theory of Scattering"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the principles and applications of quantum mechanics and scattering theory.Prentice-Hall International Series In Physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
