Asymptotic Form of the Three-Particle Scattering Wavefunction for Free Incident Particles

Abstract

It is shown that second‐order multiple scattering terms lead, in some directions, to an anomalous term in the asymptotic form of the wavefunction for three free incident particles, which falls off as the inverse second power of distance. The boundary of the region in which this occurs is given, together with the form of the wavefunction near this boundary.
