• Fredholm determinants for the Hulthén-distorted separable potential

By exploiting higher partial wave solutions for the Hulthén potential, constructed via the factorisation method, closed form analytical expressions of the Fredholm determinants for motion in Hulthén plus modified Graz separable potential are constructed to study on-shell scattering up to partial wave $\scr l$= 2. Phase shifts for different states of $\alpha-^3$H and $\alpha-^3$He are obtained by exploiting the expression of the Fredholm determinant. The results are found in reasonable agreement with the standard data (Spiger and Tombrello 1967).

• Off-shell T-matrix for the Manning–Rosen potential

New analytical expressions for the off-shell wave functions and T-matrix with the Manning–Rosen potential are constructed in terms of generalised hypergeometric functions. The off-shell T-matrices are computed for the neutron–proton and neutron–deuteron systems. The limiting behaviours of our expression for the off-shellT-matrix are verified and found correct.

• On the p−$^2$H$_1$ and p−$^{16}$O elastic scattering

We solve the wave equation with the Manning–Rosen plus rank one separable non-local potential to obtain exact analytical solutions through ordinary differential equation method. The regular, Jost and physical state solutions are found to involve special functions of mathematics. As an application of the Jost function and Fredholm determinant, the bound-state energies and the scattering phase parameters for the p−$^2$H$_1$ and p−$^{16}$O systems are computed. The results achieved are in good agreement with the other methods published earlier.

• Studies in scattering using Manning–Rosen-modified separable potential in all partial waves

The aim of this paper is to find the exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the Manning–Rosen plus Graz separable potential through two different approaches to the problem. We express the irregular/Jost and physical solutions in terms of the special functions of mathematical physics. Numerical results of the phase shifts are obtained by utilising the properties of the Jost function and Fredholm determinants for nucleon–nucleon and nucleon–nucleus systems. The results obtained are in good agreement with earlier works.

• Treatment of inelastic scattering within the separable interaction model

The closed-form analytical expressions for the off-shell solutions for Hulthén-distorted Yamaguchi potential are derived to deal with the charged hadron systems. To construct these solutions, the particular integrals of the non-homogeneous Schrödinger equations are utilised in conjunction with the interacting Green’s functions. The Jost functions thus obtained, both on- and off-shell, are exploited to find the half-off-shell T -matrix. The off shell Jost function exists but off-shell Jost solution for the said potential has not yet been discussed in the literature. The merits of the T -matrix are examined through some model calculations. Exploiting the expressions for on and half-shell transition matrices, the s-wave elastic and inelastic scattering cross-sections are also estimated. Our results for the proton–proton and proton–oxygen systems are in close agreement with other calculations.
