Perturbative estimates on the transport cross section in quantum scattering by hard obstacles
Abstract
Description
The quantum scattering by smooth bodies is considered for small and large values of $kd$, with $k$ the wavenumber and $d$ the scale of the body. In both regimes, we prove that the forward scattering exceeds the backscattering. For high $k$, we need to assume that the body is strictly convex.
