		Grain noise and irritating high amplitudes in the region of the back-wall are eliminated and the holes are detected clearly.

		Afterwards, the scattered field is measured again and then the length of the cut is increased to 2 [mm] and a third measurement is made.
		For the discussion of the experimental results, the amplitude of the scattered field around the hole is displayed in a quasi-three-dimensional plot as a colour-coded surface.
		In figure 4a the difference in amplitude of the scattered field for a 2 [mm] notch is given at a central frequency of 20 [kHz].

	Simulations of Kikuchi Patterns and Comparison with Experimental Patterns
		Inelastic scattering due to plasmons is harmful to the quantitative analysis of the rocking curves of the diffraction patterns.
		In contrast to plasmon scattering, TDS extends to large scattering angles and forms Kikuchi bands and Kikuchi lines, which are impedimental to the accurate analysis of the rocking curves of CBED patterns.
		That is, owing to the difference of the excitations of the branches (the sites of inelastic scattering) concerned, the innermost band is weaker than the next band in the pattern of O but the innermost band is stronger than the next band in the pattern of Mg.

	The Second-Order Waveguide Filter
		It is well known that lossless scattering junctions can be implemented in a variety of equivalent forms, such as the two-multiply and even one-multiply junctions.
		If a transformer is inserted in a waveguide immediately to the left, say, of a scattering junction, it can be used to modulate the wave impedance ``seen'' to the left by the junction without having to use root-power waves in the simulation.
		When amplitude and frequency are constant, there is no gradual exponential growth or decay due to round-off error.

	Sin-Itiro Tomonaga - Nobel Lecture
		What was understood from these models, was that the most strongly divergent terms in the scattering process had the same form as the expression giving the modification of the particle mass due to field reactions, and therefore both should be manifestations of the same effect.
		He calculated relativistically the infinities appearing in the scattering process and determined which of them could be amalgamated into the mass and which remained as infinities proper to the scattering process alone.
		In other words, the highest divergence part of the infinities appearing in the scattering process, in the relativistic as well as in the non-relativistic case, could be attributed to the infinity of mass.

	2. Partitioning of the elastic scattering amplitude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The total amplitude for coherent elastic photon-atom scattering is traditionally partitioned into Rayleigh, Delbrück, and nuclear amplitudes, which can be thought of as describing scattering off the atomic bound electrons, off virtual electron-positron pairs in the atomic field, and off the nucleus, respectively.
		By writing the Rayleigh amplitude in such a way one has defined a partitioning scheme for the Rayleigh amplitude, and for consistency the same partitioning scheme must be used for the Delbrück amplitude.
		Hence any calculation of the Delbrück amplitude that is to be used in conjunction with the Rayleigh amplitude calculated this way must include the sum over all intermediate states, and hence it must include a sum over all bound-electron-positron virtual pairs.

	Scattering
		Scattering experiments were rare in physics before quantum mechanics, except perhaps in relation to the scattering of light by colloids and density fluctuations.
		After quantum mechanics, scattering experiments became the principal method for the study of atoms, molecules and nuclei, since the properties of the scattering system were reflected in the scattering process.
		At first sight, the scattering problem would appear to be a very difficult time-dependent problem involving the coordinates of two particles that initially are separated wave packets, then they move into the same region and interact, and finally separate into two wave packets moving relatively in a new direction.

		Calculations are performed of the scattering of electrons by atoms using a complex self-energy potential obtained by treating the atom as an inhomogeneous electron gas.
		Our approach is based on the well known multiple scattering theory inside a medium, which leads to an approximation for the index of refraction that depends only on the single forward scattering amplitude and the density distribution functions for the atoms of the medium.
		The forward scattering amplitude between a sodium atom and a noble gas atom is calculated from molecular potential curves using the eikonal approximation.

		Evaluation of the scattering and attenuation characteristics of particulate random media requires accurate calculation of the scattering amplitude and the total cross section of individual particles.
		When scattering attenuation predominates over absorption attenuation the approximation for the total cross section is unreliable and we may assume the same for the prediction of the scattered field in this case.
		Examining the integro-differential equation the singularity is removed from the integraton by excluding a region of the scatterer at the point r of the same shape as the scatterer but of vanishing size.

	Hartle, James B. (1964-01-01) Complex angular momentum in three-particle potential scattering. ...
		The continuation of three-particle partial wave scattering amplitudes to complex values of the total angular momentum is discussed in the framework of potential scattering.
		We show that if there is a continuation for which a Watson-Sommerfeld transformation of the full scattering amplitude can be made, then it is unique and determines the behavior of the amplitude for large values of any single scattering angle.
		A non-rigorous construction of such a continuation is given for an amplitude which describes a scattering in which a given pair of the particles is bound in the initial and final states.

		The first type of the scattering wave function evolves from the incident three-body wave of three charged particles in the continuum.
		For the scattering wave function of the second type the asymptotic three-body scattered wave, which corresponds to the breakup processes, has been derived in all the asymptotic regions.
		It turns out that the post form of the breakup amplitude is given by the surface integral in the six dimensional hyperspace rather than the volume integral with the transition operator expressed in terms of the interaction potentials.

		These amplitudes are numbers which describe the relative importance of various elementary field interactions in contributing to the total process of one particle colliding with (scattering off of) another.
		The amplitudes are added together and the dependence of their total magnitude on various physical variables, such as scattering angle, is compared with that actually observed.
		The total amplitude which describes the transition from an initial set of states (the incoming particles) to a final set of states (the outgoing particles) is equivalent to the statistical correlation of the incoming and outgoing states weighted by the exponent of the classical action associated with the fields.

		Chiral Perturbation Theory is considered as a very precise method when applied to pion-nucleon scattering near threshold and in the unphysical region since in these cases the pion momenta are small.
		From the fact that the resulting partial-wave amplitudes do not respect elastic unitarity relation, one has that the phase-shift definition is ambiguous.
		In this article, we present the comparison of the model with experimental data for two different phase-shift formulas and we conclude that the results are very sensitive to phase-shift definition.

	Photon scattering from atoms and ions with partially-filled subshells (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		More general use of such an averaged amplitude approach (with weighted cross sections according to the number of electrons) may not be appropriate for situations where many or all subshells are only partially-filled, as can be the case for low Z ground state atoms, ions, and excited state configurations.
		Here there is a non-zero total angular momentum, and, in principle, different polarized scattering cross sections corresponding to the possible projections of the angular momentum.
		The consequences for scattering from such configurations will be discussed, both for the case of an unpolarized target and for a target with a definite orientation.

	On the acoustic scattering amplitude for a multi-layered scatterer
		We consider the boundary-value problems corresponding to the scattering of a time-harmonic acoustic plane wave by a multi-layered obstacle with a sound-soft, hard or penetrable core.
		Firstly, we construct in closed forms the normalized scattering amplitudes and prove the classical reciprocity and scattering theorems for these problems.
		The scattering cross-section is expressed in terms of the forward value of the corresponding normalized scattering amplitude.

		Our goal is to study properties of the scattering matrix $S(\lambda)$ associated to the operator $H$.
		We find also the diagonal singularity of the scattering amplitude (of the kernel of $S(\lambda)$ regarded as an integral operator).
		In this case the scattering amplitude has only a weak singularity (the diagonal Dirac function is neglected) in the forward direction and hence scattering is essentially of short-range nature.

	GROUND MOTION
		Using the complete theory of the coda, which is a function of both scattering and intrinsic Q, Hoshiba (1993) compared the predicted coda shape to the observed, e.g., compared the predicted to observed coda-Q parameter.
		For some data sets and frequencies, coda-Q is indicative of intrinsic Q rather than scattering Q. It is hoped that the values estimated using the technique will explain the experically determined differences in the Coda and Peak motion source terms, e.g., that the scattering Q's may differ by a factor of 10.
		The decrease of amplitude faster than 1/R is a combination of a 1/R spectral scaling with an increase of signal duration with distance.

		of amplitude noise is possible only by "squeezing" the uncertainty region, reducing its width in the amplitude direction while increasing it in the orthogonal direction, so that the phase uncertainty is increased.
		There is also the so-called squeezed vacuum (right figure), where the center of the uncertainty region (corresponding to the average amplitude) is at the origin of the coordinate system, and the fluctuations are reduced in some direction.
		This coherence (i.e., a well-defined phase relationship between the excitation amplitudes of lower and upper electronic state) leads to a macroscopic dipole moment.
