Keplerian trajectories and simple global Airy-type asymptotic solution of the scattering problem for the Schroedinger equation with a repulsive Coulomb potential.
Abstract:
Joint work with S.B.Levin (St. Petersburg State University),
A.A.Tolchennikov (Ishlinsky Institute for Problems in Mechanics RAS).
The exact solution of the scattering problem for the Schroedinger equation with
a repulsive Coulomb potential in the form of a degenerate hypergeometric
is well known (see the book S. P. Merkuryev, L.D. Faddeev, Quantum scattering
theory for systems of several particles, Moscow: Nauka, 1998; Springer 1993).
With the help of recently developed approaches, we construct simple explicit
semiclassical asymptotic formulas for solving this problem in the form of the
Airy function of a complex argument. The answer relies on a suitable
Lagrangian manifold woven from well-known Keplerian trajectories.
