An Integral Transform of Coulomb Green's Function via Sturmian Representation and Off-Shell Scattering

By exploiting the term by term separability of the Sturmian function representation of the Coulomb Green's function an integral transform of the corresponding outgoing wave Green's function, that plays a crucial role in the studies of off-shell properties of the Coulomb and Coulomb-like interactions, is derived. Working in the representation space the off-shell Jost solutions and T-matrices for motion in Coulomb and Coulomb-modified nuclear potentials are expressed in terms of simple expressions involving hypergeometric functions. The effectiveness of our constructed expressions for the T-matrices is examined through a model calculation. (author)
