Two Particle States in a Box and the -Matrix in Multi-Channel Scattering
Chuan Liu🇨🇳 · Xu Feng🇨🇳 · Song He🇨🇳
Using a quantum mechanical model, the exact energy eigenstates for two-particle two-channel scattering are studied in a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions. A relation between the exact energy eigenvalue in the box and the two-channel -matrix elements in the continuum is obtained. This result can be viewed as a generalization of the well-known Lüscher's formula which establishes a similar relation in elastic scattering.
