Description

In this paper we prove results in resonance scattering for the Schroedinger operator PV=-h2Δ+V, V being a smooth, short range potential on Rn. More precisely, for energy λ near a trapping energy level λ0 for the classical system defined by the Hamiltonian p(x, ζ)=ζ2+V(x), we prove that the scattering phase and the scattering cross sections associated to (PV, P0) have the Breit-Wigner form ('Lorentzian line shape') in the limit h → 0.
