Description

A formal derivation of the general unitarity relation for the four-particle transition operator is given by generalizing the three-body formalism of Karlson and Zeiger to the four-body case. From this operator relation the on-shell unitarity relations for the amplitudes that describe elastic/rearrangement, partial breakup, and full breakup scattering processes are obtained
