Introduction to asymptotic observables for multiparticle quantum scattering

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1218)

Abstract

We give an expository presentation of the convergence proof for asymptotic observables in N-body quantum systems. Some applications are derived. We use simplifying assumptions and add numerous remarks to stress the main ideas and techniques and to avoid technicalities. Auxiliary concepts like "k-clustered operators" and local decay of subsystems are discussed in detail.
