Extract

In this paper an approximate formula is developed for the phase shifts required in the calculation of the scattering of particles according to wave mechanics. It is shown to be more accurate than the current approximations and it is not difficult to handle. The same method can also be used to compute any quantity which is sensitive to the form of the wave function near the centre of force (e.g. a matrix element).
