Two-body continuum states in non-integer geometry

Abstract

Wave functions, phase shifts and corresponding elastic cross sections are investigated for two short-range interacting particles in a deformed external oscillator field. For this we use the equivalent $d$-method employing a non-integer dimension $d$. Using a square-well potential, we derive analytic expressions for scattering lengths and phase shifts. In particular, we consider the dimension, $d_E$, for infinite scattering length, where the Efimov effect occurs by addition of a third particle. We give explicitly the equivalent continuum wave functions in $d$ and ordinary three dimensional (3D) space, and show that the phase shifts are the same in both methods. Consequently the $d$-method can be used to obtain low-energy two-body elastic cross sections in an external field.
