This book presents the scattering theory of nonrelativistic systems, a fundamental tool for analyzing collision experiments involving quantum particles at moderate energies. It aims to investigate particle interactions and their properties. The authors discuss the theory's fundamentals, focusing on elastic scattering through the stationary Schrödinger equation and the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, while also addressing the time-dependent formulation of scattering theory. Selection rules for effective cross sections influenced by symmetries from interparticle forces and the scattering of spin-polarized particles are examined. The groundwork for understanding inelastic processes is established, with applications to three-body and nucleotransfer processes. Each chapter distinguishes between technical mathematical details and physics-oriented explanations, ensuring clarity and accessibility for readers interested in impact process physics. This text is a translation of the original German first edition, extensively revised for technical and linguistic accuracy. The translation utilized artificial intelligence, specifically DeepL.com, and reflects ongoing efforts by Springer Nature to enhance book production tools and support authors.
