Semi-classical scattering in two dimensions

S. K. Adhikari, M. S. Hussein

Published 2008-06-04, updated 2008-06-06Version 2

The semi-classical limit of quantum-mechanical scattering in two dimensions (2D) is developed. We derive the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin and Eikonal results for 2D scattering. No backward or forward glory scattering is present in 2D. Other phenomena, such as rainbow or orbiting do show up.
