Description

Diffraction Effects in Semiclassical Scattering 1 Montroll Memorial Lecture Series in Mathematical Physics Series Number 1

Critical effects in semiclassical scattering in which the standard approximations break down are associated with forward peaking rainbows glories orbiting and resonances. Besides giving rise to beautiful optical effects in the atmosphere critical effects have important applications in many areas of physics. However their interpretation and accurate treatment is difficult. This book based on the Elliott Montroll Lectures given at the University of Rochester deals with the theory of these critical effects. After a preliminary chapter in which the problem of critical effects is posed the next three chapters on coronae rainbows and glories are written so as to be accessible to a broader audience. The main part of the book then describes the results obtained from the application of complex angular momentum techniques to scattering by homogeneous spheres. These techniques lead to practically usable asymptotic approximations and to new physical insights into critical effects. A new conceptual picture of diffraction regarded as a tunnelling effect emerges. The final two chapters contain brief descriptions of applications to a broad range of fields including linear and nonlinear optics radiative transfer astronomy acoustics seismology atomic nuclear and particle physics.
