A Monte-Carlo Approach to Zero Energy Quantum Scattering

Abstract

Monte-Carlo methods for zero energy quantum scattering are developed. Starting from path integral representations for scattering observables, we present results of numerical calculations for potential scattering and scattering off a schematic ${}^4\mathrm{He}$ nucleus. The convergence properties of Monte-Carlo algorithms for scattering systems are analyzed using stochastic differential equation as a path sampling method.
