Lecture Notes in Physics

This volume contains three interrelated, beautiful, and useful topics of quantum scattering theory: inverse scattering theory, algebraic scattering theory and supersymmetrical quantum mechanics. The contributions cover such issues as coupled-channel inversions at fixed energy, inversion of pion-nucleon scattering cross-sections into potentials, inversions in neutron and x-ray reflection, 3-dimensional fixed-energy inversion, inversion of electron scattering data affected by dipole polarization, nucleon-nucleon potentials by inversion versus meson-exchange theory, potential reversal and reflectionless impurities in periodic structures, quantum design in spectral, scattering, and decay control, solution hierarchy of Toda lattices, etc.
