Collision Theory Author:Marvin L. Goldberger, Kenneth M. Watson A systematic description of the basic principles of collision theory, this graduate-level text has been used by generations of physicists and has exercised an enormous influence on the rapid development of elementary particle physics. Topics include symmetry operations on the Schrödinger equation, a detailed description of scattering proces... more »ses and formal scattering theory, the two-body problem with central forces, and scattering by noncentral forces. Further chapters cover the lifetime and decay of virtual states, assorted applications, an introduction to dispersion theory, and scattering by systems of bound particles. 1964 ed., reprinted with corrections in 1975. 52 figures.« less
