Generalized Pseudopotentials for Higher Partial Wave Scattering
Generalized Pseudopotentials for Higher Partial Wave Scattering
We derive a generalized zero-range pseudopotential applicable to all partial wave solutions to the Schrödinger equation based on a delta-shell potential in the limit that the shell radius approaches zero. This properly models all higher order multipole moments not accounted for with a monopolar delta function at the origin, as …
