Description

A practical method of inverse scattering is proposed to determine a finite-range scattering potential from phase-shift data evaluated at a set of discrete energies. By using the asymptotic behaviour of the phase shifts and the connection between short- and long-wavelength scales, a relatively few input data are found to be adequate. The method works well for repulsive and moderately attractive potentials, useful in many applications
